What's up!? I currently have a 9.5kw PV system with a Solar Edge Inverter. I'm interested in installing a whole home ductless system to replace my inefficient and aging rooftop packaged unit. I have a lot of sun where I live, and I like the idea of powering an AC system completely from PV. But what if my PV is capable of producing more power than what my heat pump is using, or what if I'm not using the heat pumps at all? Is all that excess PV power being wasted and just doing nothing? That seems a little silly if that is the case, that's a lot of lost potential that could be used for charging batteries or exporting back out to the grid!
I understand that your PV systems aren't going to produce more power if the current has no where to go. So the question is, is it possible to divert the full potential of your PV system to an inverter for other uses? For example, if my PV is capable of producing 1KW, and my EG4 is only using 300watts, can that extra 700watts be dumped into an inverter?
My inverter has a lot of room to add more PV, it would be really cool if I could add that additional PV capacity into my overall PV system. Thanks a lot!
