From that I'd say yes; but the LG RESU10H is 400 V / 9.8 kWh. So from that I'd say it might be tricky (e.g., need another part). I'd write the company and ask for a list of compatible 48V batteries and hookup instructions. If you find out, let us know!StorEdge is compatible with high voltage LG Chem RESU batteries as well as 48V batteries supplied by multiple battery vendors.
Yes a number of hyybridinverters could be AC coupled to that Solaredge inverter. Swapping out the Solaredge GT inverter for a Solaredge Storedge could also be done but the cost of the LG Chem battery is a lot more than a hybrid and DIY lithium. In either case a separate sub panel would need to be installed. My system with an Outback Skybox is an example.I have a neighbor that is interested in adding battery storage to his grid-tied system (Solar Edge HD wave). Is there an opportunity for DIY in this setup
LG Chem batteries are Lithium NCM not Lithium Polymer. They are more explody than LFP but less than Lithium Polymer. I do not know how the recall has affected their availability to the DiY sector.I would be more comfortable with DIY LiFePO4 than UL listed lithium polymer.
I have 130kWhr sitting in my garage in two Teslas and would never want to use them to power my home. V2H is a nice concept but I spent $10,000 for 42kWh of LFP batteries and a hybrid inverter. Vehicle batteries are a lot more expensive to replace than LFP cells.the real shame is he has 100 kWh of batteries between 2 EVs sitting in the garage but no V2H option.

Thanks guys. It looks like his most straightforward path is to have the same installer swap the current inverter for the StorEdge inverter and add the critical load panel. I don't believe he is interested in doing that, and the real shame is he has 100 kWh of batteries between 2 EVs sitting in the garage but no V2H option.
Indeed, but he is only looking for emergency grid down use. When the arctic blast came though here in February his panels and car batteries were useless of course.

In that case the easiest solution is a 12volt inverter connected to the 12volt battery in his EVs. That is what I did with one of my Teslas. I think Will Prowse has a video on that. The Tesla has a robust DC to DC converter that can charge the 12v battery from the high voltage pack. I was able to keep a refrigerator and some LED lights going before I had my hybrid inverter running. My refrig is a newer model with no starting surge and I was able to run it with a 800 Watt inverter.Indeed, but he is only looking for emergency grid down use
The Storedge is DC coupled to the battery, so it would need some solar panels to charge the battery off the high voltage DC bus.Oh, so StorEdge doesn't interact with Solar Edge, rather is installed as a replacement?
I guess that's why StorEdge lists specs for battery/PV input.
I've suggested that for the Tesla 3 and his other EV, it's a Kia. And we could use my 12v inverter to try it out, but is there a concern of voiding warranty?In that case the easiest solution is a 12volt inverter connected to the 12volt battery in his EVs.

That was my concern as well. That is why I did not use a permanent solution.And we could use my 12v inverter to try it out, but is there a concern of voiding warranty?
The Kia is another story. Like its sister company, Hyundai, it uses LG Chem batteries but Kia has not yet had the issues that the Hyundai Kona has had. My ex wife recently lemon lawed a Kona over a battery issue.his other EV, it's a Kia.
In addition, even though the power was out for three days, there was a Supercharger 15 miles away that had power. I also had another fully charged Tesla in the garage.
I had to look that up. Apparently that is the Power Conversion System. The link I saw suggests that may be a combination of DC to DC converter and battery charger. The guys in that link are trying to pull a lot more Amps than I needed and are diving much deeper into hacking the Model 3/Y than I needed. That is another Tesla Forum that might suck up more of my spare time.Nice! I saw it recommend to hook up to the PCS? Not sure what this is.
