That''s great but there are currently no Bi- directional chargers approved in Australia as far as I know. The model shown here is out of production & the V2 is not approved so you can't buy one. The prohibitive cost of $10,000 is equivalent to 10 yrs of electricity bills for me. I'm guessing the fossil fuel companies are holding things up. I've been waiting 18 months to get a Bi-directioal charger so that I can utilize the battery in my already approved car in the event of power outages which I predict are going to be common in the near future due to more severe storms & power station closures.

hello. I really like your website and your videos... well done. The battery needs to be outside, is it sensible to build a shelter around it to protect it from weather and heat? Is this a common approach? Any thoughts? Any links?
Man, what a precise educational video, thank you so much!

I have 2 Sunnyboy inverters, one now almost 12 years old, the other only 3 years, installed when I had 3 Tesla Powerwalls and 3kw extra panels installed in my offgrid system. Never have had any problems. In my area, no choice of power supplier. They gave 6 cents/kw, sold back at up to 54 cents/kw. Moving into a new house shortly, Tesla and SMA going in again.

I'm in the early stages of considering solar. I've heard that 6.6 kW is the largest you can go without upgrading beyond single phase wiring/electricity. Do I need to upgrade beyond single phase to fill my roof, as you suggest, which would mean a 10+ kW system?
@SolarQuotes10 күн бұрын
It depends on your local rules - let me know your postcode for confirmation - but most people on single phase can install a 10kW inverter export limited to 5kW with 13.3 kW of panels.

Great video. Regarding DC charging at Charging station, is it faster because of DC current or 3-phase AC current? Does the charging station actually produce DC current, which past straight through ev's AC to DC converter without damaging the converter? Or does the station produce AC current that gets converted by ev's converter as charging at home?
@SolarQuotes18 күн бұрын
@@CelicaHwyn it produces DC which uses different pins to AC (hence larger plug) and bypasses the AC charger in the car. So car’s AC charger is no longer limiting the charge rate.

@SolarQuotes 1. So when DC current going through the AC-to-DC inverter in the car without causing any damage to the car's inverter? 2. Is the fast DC charging station is actually powered by a large AC-to-DC inverter inside it? Sorry for asking dump questions.😁

@@CelicaHwyn 1. DC current BYPASSES the AC to DC inverter in the car. It literally goes through different wires. 2. Grid powered DC charging stations convert AC grid power to DC, yes.

Catch power controller now has the capability of curtailing inverter output to zero export, whilst still producing enough to power the house and battery and hot water and car charger if you have one. It will also instruct your battery to discharge to the grid when feed in tariffs reach a certain figure.
