Fellow eco renovators
I’m on a family holiday in Europe, lots of rooftop solar hot water heating here
I’m casually looking for a larger battery pack. About 10:00 am the volt pack is full and the car is charged so the charge controller is throttling back and powering the house with air conditioning and other household stuff
Conclusion I need a lot more storage
First order of business when I return is to make an auxiliary connection to the Chevy S10 battery. That will have my battery capacity up around 50 kWh. From 17 kWh that’s a sizeable move
The other thing is I will be charging the truck directly from solar which is the holy grail of driving on electrons. I don’t think that will ever get old.
I do believe I’m really looking for a Tesla pack.
Thinking of some improvements for the 20 kw inverter. Some subtle stuff more heat sink capacity or better fan not sure yet
I know liquid cooling would be possible and an awesome heat management but at greater complexity. After all that’s how Tesla has done it and we’ using the same IGBTs. I could plumb it into the hydronic floor but again the complexity
Lots to do
