Hello my friend. Great video. I have a solar question Question: "How many watts of solar panel can I put in a 60" x 72?" space? (30 square feet) Thank you, Tom in Dallas

Hi Tom, 1 panel 405W. JA-Solar 405W 45"x68"

Great video. Question. The Norwegian models of that car has 240V single phase. What would be needed to change the setting in that car and utilize the single phase 240 to be two legs of 120? A transformer with a center tap? Am I wrong in my thoughts that this could be possible to do? Or do you think they physically have a different inverter in the US cars? Also; with your dialect you remind me of Russia but also a hint of Ukrainian. Where do you originally come from?

[@SolarEngineering]

I don't know if there is an option to switch to 240V output in the US version of the car. I'm from Belarus, and Russian is my native language. Thanks for the feedback.

@@SolarEngineering it could easily be something they have done in software to keep the same hardware in all the cars and thus save themself having many models/sku’s. Most logical is they use the same inverter they use to charge the main hv battery with ac. So if the car has support for both 120 and 240 on the charging side it should be able on the discharge side too I would imagine. One could see they want a car to be able to charge with both voltages for areas close to a border between the standards. Hmmmm. Investigation needed. :-)

Will this work with a Chevy bolt?

[@SolarEngineering]

as far as I know, Bolt doesn't have V2L capability
