I know there has been a lot of churn the last few years over Vehicle to Grid technology. I'm not sure how many people really want the utilities to take over their vehicle state of charge, so I'm not sure how viable the whole concept is.
With my grid tied solar system my solar stops producing if the grid goes down. One way to prevent this is to have a battery backup system in place. That's usually an investment of at least several thousand dollars. I have two factory OEM PHEVs sitting in my driveway with significant battery packs. I also have a Juicebox 40 for charging which has some charging intelligence already built into it for their Juicenet program, but not really V2G. I feel like I am tantalizingly close to a great solution. So here is the question that I have. How far am I from being able to utilize my car batteries through the OEM port and an EVSE charger, to feed an inverter and keep my house alive and my solar producing during a power outage? Is this tech currently being developed, or is it still just a dream that my come true some day? BTW - I have lived in my house for 20+ years and rarely lose power, but "being prepared" is always on my agenda. I suspect that if I really want a solution within the next couple of years I will need to buy a separate battery for my solar system, or a generator... thanks Damon -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
