Jeff's Home: Testing / Evolution
Starting with an existing standby generator, the backup system evolved to a SolarEdge/LG solar + battery system, and eventually to a microgrid.
Solar + Battery + Generator, working together to weather any length outage or take the fully electrified property off-grid.
