Who's a good boy? 👍🍁
So teh way my system is laid out is that I have ~13kw making power inside the house. If my battery gets charged fully, I'll connect to the grid and sell power from that 13kw of inverters. Also, I have a 8kw that is connected to an inverter that is export only. My plan was to run the house off the13kw part of solar and export/import enough power to run the cars.
The light blue line is the power exported each day and resets at midnight. Dark blue is total power made including that exported amount. The orange/red/purple areas under 0 on this graph are each of the EVs. The fact that despite driving all three cars two days ago and two trips to town in my car yesterday, I have yet to need more power than I've exported. That light blue line has never gone below 0.
Also we've had about 3 or 4 cloudy days in a row, batteries haven't hit 100% in a few days, but I haven't needed to connect the house to the grid either... we're just coasting along!

Tip for US/north american split phase people. It used to be common to run power to a light fixture and then run only two wires to the switch. The problem with this is that you don't have a neutral later on when you want to install a smart switch or a dimmer. Although ground has the same potential as neutral, you cannot use ground as a current carrying conductor.
So the new NEC code says you run power to the switch first and then run two wires and ground to the lamp.
The first image in gray is incorrect, the second image with the blue box is correct.

Not home wiring, but electronics.
I just got fooled... I ordered a BMV-712 from amazon that says it'll work with the victron connect app over bluetooth. it does not. It is NOT a victron product. Poorly made and a chinese counterfeit. https://a.co/d/0B8wz0B

If you are not a diy type this is a good deal. Recently the price of lithium batteries has dropped significantly and I can build the same capacity battery for about $2000. Depends where your priorities and abilities are.
