Thanks for the info.
I figured it was probably not easy (it was easy on the Priuws, but no more). I’ll probably just but in a grid-tie inverter and tie that to the 120v charge pins so that at least while the sun is shining and the car is plugged in (at home), I’ll be getting the value of the electricity either into the car or more likely back into my home grid. When I retire in 30 days, then finally the volt will be at h ome when the sun is shining.

Hey Robert, I was wondering and tempted to email you to ask what was your progress on that. Keep us posted, want to know how you'll solve charging the HV battery from your PV. With regards an 'easy' way to access to the HV battery terminals. I believe it won't find that. You either will have to power and gain control of the internal electronics in order to close the HV contactors and make an external splice on the HV wiring, or you'll have to open that pack and manually tap before those contactors. Be careful when cutting any HV orange wiring for doing the splice; they come with a dual insulation with a grounding shield wrap in between (like a Coax TV cable, but way more sophisticated). And if you don't take proper precautions in keeping the high impedance/good isolation against GND; you will set isolation faults on your Volt ECU (DTCs).

I'm working on the side curtains now for when the hatch is set level. Last night, I got the design in place made of cardboard to make the patterns and see if they would fit. They do! Now all I have to do is sneak in some build-time between honeydoos. Oh, and I still welcome anyone with info on where I can easily access the 300V battery terminals for charging.
