I have a cabin and recently had solar & PW3 installed. Power was out in the entire region yesterday and I was loving life running the well, listening to music, making cold drinks. Several hours into it I wanted to take a shower.

Solar had been generating enough to keep PW3 at 100% the entire day. I turn the shower on and it immediately trips the house.

If the only thing really drawing power is the on demand water heater, shouldn’t that just drain PW3 faster (but keep functioning?) or does this sound like a problem with a breaker or hot water unit? I’m really hoping I can shower when the grid is down.

What’s the longest amount of time you’ve heard of the irs dragging their feet on a review for a refund? I submitted my 2024 taxes on 2/13/25 via efile, it was accepted and approved with a date of 3/6/25 in my account.

IRS then rescinded the approval and has been sitting on it pending review for a WHOLE YEAR plus a few months. This is getting ridiculous. I can’t bring myself to even deal with the taxes due this year while they’re playing games (I filed extension.) How long can they drag this out?

Edit for context: I received a w2. I entered the info on the w2. The transcript has no mention of the withholding associated with the w2. I contacted previous employer. They insist everything looks good on their end. I did everything right and it seems I am trapped between incompetence at my old company and indifference at the irs. I could REALLY use the money.
