We don't have the cell phone at the moment. T Mobile has it, but soon they'll say we can get a new phone. It's a long story. Soooo, no pictures until then! haha. Yesterday I installed 3 outlets outside next to the windows. Today I just hooked up the inverter to the house. We have a 12500btu or something like that window air conditioner that I plugged in, and the stupid inverter shut off due to overcurrent protection. But... Since I'm in charge of every stinking line of code on that thing, I just changed it so the hardware overcurrent protection clears itself automatically if it trips. That's the short term fix. I also ordered some higher amp current sensors to replace the LEM 50's I'm using at the moment. That will be safer, but I didn't want to wait for them to ship here.

Tomorrow I hook up the MPPT charger. So, today I'm running the batteries down a bit so the MPPT charger has something useful to do. I"m just waiting on some 2 gauge lugs that should arrive tomorrow!
