DC power is dc power, why the inverter would care if comes from the panels or from a battery? I'll try my luck eventually, this is a far fetched project I'm planning for... Hopefully some day...
Since you guys look curious, here is why I'm asking this. I'm thinking on adapting a Ford Transit as a RV, diesel powered, with about 20kw.h of power storage, here is my ideas so far, if this ever happens it will be a long time in the future
1) Get a Ford e-transit and directly hook the solar...
Without going into much details what I'm thinking about doing to avoid unnecessary details I'm looking to find out if this would work
1) There will be no solar power at all.
2) Instead of the inverter being powered by the solar panels I would power it using a 200V battery setup, wiring it to the...
No, it would be hooked up to a custom battery on an Orion 2 BMS. I know in regular EVs it wouldn't work because of all the closed protocols they use to allow power to be drawn. No motors attached to it, just the inverter.
I'm just planning for now. And yes, all in one unit. And I'm aware some require battery power to power on, but some clearly states it's not necessary, so I would pick one of those.
