Cat herder, and dog toy tosser.
So far this is what I know I need (and what I think is the best way to go)
- Battery - Tesla S Module 5.5 kW per pack, and 24v per pack (~$1250 per pack) I've seen enough DIY powerwall battery build kits, and the Tesla pack is my choice.
- Controller - EVTV Controller (~$3000? with the raspberry pi display tablet)
- DC->AC Inverter - 24v or 48v to 120V/240V (no idea price, 48v is better if you can $$$ it I guess)
- Charger ?
How do I charge the battery pack? Is it just through the Inverter?
How do I control charging the pack? I want to check if I have solar excess, if so, then charge the pack. As long as there is energy in the pack, I want to use that energy during my grid demand time on my entire panel. I do not have a "critical loads" panel. As far as I can tell though I think I could make one very easy for the room where it should run all the time (refrigerator, freezer and internet gateway).
