Hey All,
I wanted to get the communities feedback on adding my own DIY powerwall to an existing system.
TLDR; what AC coupled inverter should I look into?
First, what currently exists:
1x 10kw SolarEdge Inverter with 10.89 watts DC of solar connected
2x Tesla Powerwall 2
My big question is around which battery inverter to use. The existing system is completely AC coupled so I'm guessing I have to go down that route to get additional backup power into the system.
From what I've seen (hybrid?) inverters seem to be a pretty good chunk of coin but I haven't been able to figure out what would be the best for my use case.
I am planning on adding another ~2970 watt's DC of solar, and I was going to do that through the existing solaredge 10k inverter. Maybe it makes sense to funnel this all into another hybrid inverter instead?
I haven't figured out how I'm going to tackle "splitting" the solar output between the two batteries, but one step at a time right?
The big driver here is to get cheaper storage. I bought the two powerwalls *before* I learned about this site, but they're pretty expensive for what they are.
I'm hoping I can add more storage for less money.
