Hi everyone,
1st time poster here, so apologies if this has been covered before, I did try a search which came up with nothing.
I live in Bonnie Scotland in the not so sunny UK. I already have a grid tied3Kw solar array. Here in Scotland I still have the benifit of the fleedin tariff whereby I get paid fo anything my panels generate, whether I use it all or not. I really love to build my own storage/powerwall to make the most of it however the downsideis that my FIT payments areits by a generation meter which connected on the AC side of the system.
Now onto my question, batteries charge using DC power however if I did that my generation meter would hardly move as almost all of my solar would go into charging a battery bank. Is there a way in which I could have my cake and eat by manufacturing a powerwall that would charge after the generation meter?
Thanks in advance for any guidance given.
