Hi all, this is my first post to this forum, I have been reading for a while but now I thought I'd register and become a member for real!
I have been thinking of chargers for my (in the making) powerwall, do you guys have any suggestions on how I can solve my problem wich is this: I already have a solar system with a three phase grid tie inverter, the easy solution is just to buy a new hybrid inverter, but my solar system is located in a "shed" on my property, in the wintertime the batteries will not work due to cold weather if i place them with the inverter, so I have to move them inside my house. What Ive been thinking so far is to use my already installed smart meter and a Raspberry to control the charger, or chargers, since I want one charger on all three phases. When Im exporting, lets say, 500w on one phase the charger on that phase will start to charge until Im importing power again. Do you think I can use just ordinary DC power supplys or will they realease some smoke when charging at the same time?
Or do you guys have a more simple and better solution?
