    Did Randy's lista make its way on this forum? Was curious what other cars put out.

    I did email Randy too, asking why he's selling larger kW units. He said Prius caps at 3.5kW and that his older 5kW was an error.

    But I'm fine with 3kW. Reading on Will Prowse's solar forum, I found out that folks use solar MPPT to tap into the Prius battery. There are all in one units - MPPT, inverter, charger - that can do 0-500VDC like EG4 3kW or even Vevor 3kW more recently. I was bummed out that AIMS discontinued that 2Kw unit, but finding this bit of info made things good again.

    I bet I posted a link to Randy's list somewhere upthread here.

    No bets on whether the link still works.
