I could live with 4 or even 5 hours to fully charge. I never let the charge drop below 20%, and limit the high end to %80%. I'm not sure what the amount of charge would be for that. But I could live with a 4 hour charge time for that range.

Unless doing this is just outrageously difficult, and Will seems to think it isn't, I can't imagine that there won't be a considerable call for off grid charging for EVs. I got screwed by the electrician who upgraded my electrical panel when I installed my home solar system. He did not allow for...

Just read your post...before sending the one above. Hummmm... hadn't thought of just solar panels with no battery. Would need an inverter that did not require batteries, and enough panels to deliver 7 or 8 kW.

I have an existing residential system working with PG&E. It was designed using microinverters with the intent of adding 6 panels at a later date. Now is the later date but I would like to add them myself rather than going back to the original installation company. I understand the warranty might...

I have a grounding question as well: My understanding is that you don't use the same ground for AC as for DC. I have my battery array, my grounding off the PV panels, and all the chassie grounds going to one grounding rod. These are all DC grounds. But my current inverter output AC. So I assume...

Hedges, thank you for the reply. I was just watching a youtube on the installation of the enphase microinverters (which is what I will install). It actually looks easier than I thought. It's a plug and play thing that is wired in parallel. I don't see any way to wire it any differently even if...

I've seen a number of threads concerning Tesla batteries, but I wanted to start a new thread that focuses specifically on the details of constructing an off-grid system for charging the model3. Will has a few youtubes about this, but I couldn't find anything definitive. I should say that I'm a...
