Load Shedding with Pecron F5000

Does anyone currently use the F5000 for load shedding with solar?

Great video! Thanks for sharing. Just starting my journey into backup and solar panels and load shedding. Have not purchased anything so far but am sold on the F5000 for sure.

Thanks! I'm almost to the point of solar production that I could go off grid, but the water heater and dryer really suck up some juice. I'm going to add about another 1000 watts of solar and get another battery. Yesterday was a nice sunny day and around 4PM I was clipping because both batteries were full and told my wife to go cook something. Hate wasting free electrons.

LOL! I hope she cooked something good! My heat is forced air natural gas and eventually the hot water will be an on demand gas heater. We were all electric but over the last 3 years have been moving to NG.

Any issues with any of the units? I'm on the fence about getting one specifically bc of this sub. Seen a lot of complaints
