Hi all,
Thought I'd make a new thread for this, since quite a lot of development has been made since last year. I set out to connect used 400V EV packs directly as-is to grid-tied solar inverters, skipping the steps to open up packs, reconfigure for 48V, add BMS, add busbars, contactors, precharge, etc.
This is the basic idea:
I am happy to say that this was succesful, and the project is completely open source! Here is a video of my 30kWh LEAF battery, attached to my garage:

And here is a link to the Github page:
As of today (21.07.2023), the following inverters/batteries are supported:
The list is constantly growing, since this is an awesome community effort. Check out the Wiki side on the Github for more info. Hope this inspires someone here to test it out, really the simplest way so far to get a large powerwall for home use!
