About SunForgeLab

Who I Am

I'm Anthony Medeiros. I use solar to supplement a large portion of my home's electricity, drive two EVs, and have hands-on experience with batteries, inverters, and system design. SunForgeLab is where I share what I've learned — the wins, the mistakes, and the real-world numbers.

Why "SunForgeLab"?

"Forge" because this is hands-on work — bending conduit, crimping connectors, and bolting racking to roofs. "Lab" because every claim gets tested with real measurements: clamp meters, battery monitors, and production logs.
