I have a shop that I run some large (≈30kW) 3 phase industrial power supplies in for an additive manufacturing process I am developing. I am currently using a 55 kW 3 phase generator to power them and would like to switch over to solar with a large battery bank and possibly use DC power supplies powered by the grid. I already have 12kW of solar panels and may add an additional 20-30kW. I also have 200A of 240V split phase available from the grid and I have experience with using large DC power supplies to augment the system from the grid when needed as my R&D additive manufacturing system will need to run continuously for multiple days in a row.
If anyone has some equipment recommendations I would greatly appreciate some initial suggestions. Another note, I may end up using this system to supply power to my house which is on the same property and gets it's power from a 400A service already on my shop. So being able to supply all the power to my house would be a bonus when I finish the R&D and move the equipment to a production facility. I won't need 3 phase power any more at that point so systems that can be configured for either 3 phase or split phase are preferable.
