- 13 años de experiencia
I am a licensed professional engineer in Texas. I spent eight years designing charging equipment for a manufacturer before going independent on residential integration in Austin: chargers, home batteries, load management. The subject I care most about is panel capacity, because that is where charger projects die. The existing service will not carry the load, and the owner finds out after the equipment is bought that they need a service upgrade costing more than the charger did. That calculation takes twenty minutes on a call with a photo of your panel and twelve months of utility bills. I also spend a lot of time explaining load management, which is the cheap way out of a service upgrade and which almost no installer proposes because it sells less hardware. I work to the National Electrical Code; for a project in Europe I can set the method but I cannot sign off on compliance.

Lo que le distingue
I run the load calculation before you buy anything. That is the reverse of how most people do it, and it is the only way to avoid the eight-thousand-dollar service upgrade nobody budgeted for.
