Title: Using you battery pack as a powerwall?
Post by: Leander on July 19, 2023, 06:45:05 AM

Has any one done this yet? or dabbled in it?

I noticed that the micro solarpanel inverters have the right specs to make it possible.
but how to wire everything up?

I'm thinking about swithing the micro inverter and the bike charger dependend on battery state and solar production/power usage.
keeping between 20% and 80% charge state.

Ideas?

I thought about doing this with my Sur Ron battery packs but most hybrid off grid all in one inverters run on either 24V or 48V.  I wound up making a battery bank out of LiFePO4 batteries. 

In a way I am using the solar power to charge my electric motorcycles and Rav4 Prime.  It's like I am using those to dump the power stored from the battery bank.

I do know some people  use old Leaf modules to build a battery bank.

the idea is to keep the bike usable but because I do not ride that often anymore also use it as temporairy energy storage.
