working towards off grid
The lithium Chevy volt pack is re-assigned to home duty. Its around 17 kwh. The 11 kws of solar is charging it for the first time. With the solar exposure of the day we are charging at 4.5kws.
We may include another pack as we have room for it. The last order of business is the 20kw inverter.
The holy grail would of coarse be the Tesla pack however still a little pricey.
There are still some items to clean up with the battery box- proper terminals fusing and a disconnect.
The one last un-known is the thermal management whether in home power duty would cause any heating. I will watch for this. With my experience in automotive duty it wasn't an issue at least for my climate.
