Can you offer any help with two questions related to charging our

Yes, I will look into purchase of a "step up" converter. Thanks much...Ron

Hi,
We just installed an 11 Kw Grid Feed PV that powers our Tesla Model 3
and more. Thanks
Happy Holidays to you too Lee.
This is a snapshot of our OutBack 3KW PV as the suns shines on our house
