Re: [RE-wrenches] PV direct EV charging

I have two of the inverters from Cyboenergy that I purchased about 6 years back. The off grid N model works fairly well with medium to large loads but will not run to operate things like Makita battery chargers or other small electronics unless another base load like a fan is added. It

We've done some off grid EV charging, and one thing that makes life much easier, is to go to the lower power chargers.  So far, we've just done PV to battery inverter to AC charger to car.  less efficient, but less trouble.  We've also setup dedicated charging outlets/ circuits on relays to

Mac, You can charge with DC directly from a PV solar array without an inverter or regulator. The current is self limiting by the amount of PV solar power you are making at any moment. The magic is knowing know how to trigger the charge port communications so your EV controller knows that

Mac, Our car gobbles 11,500W when it's plugged in to the grid. Even if we reduced the charge rate it would still be a heck of a draw - the chargers in the EVs are greedy. I'll be curious to hear if anyone has a solution, but my bet is that you need to give the EV a deep well to pull from

Sorry, I should have clarified, I am interested in EV charging with no grid available. I think that Solaredge requires a grid On Mon, Apr 12, 2021 at 5:51 PM Dana Orzel wrote: > SolarEdge > > > > > > > > Dana Orzel Great Solar Works, Inc. > > *C - 208.721.7003
