I have:
Secondary: water supply/grid not 100% reliable, domestic well uses an electric pump.
Intended use strategy : cycle of 2 modes.
What do I need to :
Tnanks !
- 4000W worth of solar panels (total).
- Just finished building a 16 kWh LiFePO4 battery using 16 320Ah A-grade cells (2P 8S, 24 V) and JK-BMS (limited to 120A charge/discharge, hot weather).
Secondary: water supply/grid not 100% reliable, domestic well uses an electric pump.
Intended use strategy : cycle of 2 modes.
- Battery charge, connected to the grid: send PV power to a 1500W inverter (feeds domestic load), any leftovers are used to charge the battery. This continues until battery is full (95% SOC).
- Battery is full, disconnect the grid: battery+PV feed into a 3000W inverter (with good surge capacity), this powers the house until battery is drained (5% SOC).
What do I need to :
- Prioritize feeding the inverter up to a given power (1500W, +15W auto-consumption), and leave the rest to the battery in production mode (first mode).
- Prioritize using PV power in consumption mode (second mode), example with 1500W PV available: 2000W load -> pull 500W from the battery; 800W load -> leave the battery alone (or bettter : after 10s send 700W to the battery, its BMS will manage further details).
Tnanks !
