@Cmiller — you said you’re successfully AC coupling off-grid with XW Pro? I’m having major power quality issues with a Sunny Boy (XW Pro...

Not delivers more current that it could have at higher state of charge. Inverter presents lower impedance on its input, drawing more...

And to expand what I would really do is go with 48 volts and forget about all the bus bars, extra fusing etc etc that are needed when...

3000W / .85 efficiency / 10V inverter cutoff = 353A Fuse should be 1.25x to 1.5x higher to prevent nuisance blows. 500A fuse a good...

Best to consider the Prius as a 4-5kW generator. That's 96kWh/day or more... :P

I was referring to this statement: @AntronX seemed to float the idea of hacking the ECU via CAN to get a sustained 16kW output. But...

Based on behavior I’ve seen, the voltage and current limit isn’t stored in non volatile memory. If CAN comms is lost, or power cycled...

It’s a 2012 Prius V.

FWIW, I’ve already got CAN control working on the Flatpack2, able to set voltage, current, and default voltage. Using ESPHome, and the...

Appreciate your sharing of knowledge! I'd love to know exactly how much worse the efficiency is, but taking into consideration the...

Reason # 4,387 to hate raccoons.

Bummer. I'd prefer if my tap/mod was only hot when the car's ignition is on. This gives me confidence that I'm not likely to overburden...

It won't provided you pick up off the hot side of the relays so the car sees the current it's providing by passing through the current...

I can't even believe I'm typing this right now... I installed a grid-tied Sunny Boy PV system on my in-laws' garage roof, and it's been...

Should work. Wonder if car will set a DTC due to unexpected power loss from traction battery.

Yikes. Curious to know what voltage that was... @GXMnow shared a similar story in another thread not too long ago, in response to...

you obviously know much more about this subject then I do as such i wanted to sub to this thread to see where this leads, best of luck...

Get some good rubber gloves, and a quality volt meter. Be safe. Learn the power flow design of the car BEFORE you start touching parts...

I've already got a pair of XW Pros on the wall, and 48V battery attached to them--and these high-efficiency telecom 48V rectifiers on...
