Adding more capacity
I have an 18.86 kw system currently. 41 x 460W panels, IQ8X microinverters and an enphase combiner. It's my understanding that the combiner will accept 9 more panels and inverters. Ultimately, I want to get as close as I can to 25 kW system (my state's limit), but I also want to be practical. 9 panels seem easy, and get me to 23 kW. Would the extra 2 kW ultimately require a second combiner and ultimately make it cost prohibitive? I use about 27000 kWh annually, submitted by /u/Cultural-Ad4953 [link] [comments]

2000 charge cycles🎉🎉
I just hit 2040 charge cycles on my base model iPhone 12 which now has 78% battery health which I don’t believe cuz it’s been saying that for a while. Also I got this phone brand new 4 years ago from Verizon and it was at 100% battery health then. I get like around 3hpurs before it dies from 100%. I go through about 2 charge cycles a day now. Also my battery has not swelled even a tiny bit. submitted by /u/ThirdMonster529 [link] [comments]

Huawei 22KT-S0 question
Hi all, I am based in Belgium and received today a quote for car charger. A Huawei 22KT-S0. The quote was 2404 Euros for charger, installation, labor, material etc. Price comparing with my 12 panel and battery installation seemed a bit unreasonably high to me. My question is: I found it on retail price of 529€ instead of 850€ that the company sells it. Will I have any issues with guarantee and control technique inspection if another authorized electrician installs and sets it up? PS: I already have a Huawei inverter along with EMMA.
