I have a situation where the only place solar panels will work well is on a 9M x 2m flat roofed shed in the garden.
The shed has ducting between it and the little guest house we have, the guest house has a 63A supply from the main house (Buried SWA) and its own consumer unit of course. The 63A supply for the guest house comes from the 100A incoming mains supply - it's in parallel with its own MCBs with the feed to the consumer unit in the main house.
What I'd like to do is install a solar battery system optimised for self consumption -so solar and battery stored power used first then seamlessly fallback to the grid, to reduce monthly electricity bills.
I can see how I could do this for the AC loads in the guest house since I can insert something like a victron MultiPlus or MultiGrid + charge controller and cable the 63A incoming via those controllers then return the AC output from them to the Guest house consumer unit.
What I'm not sure about is if there are any controllers that can have a single AC connection for both input and output so that I could potentially power AC loads in the main house also from the Guest house / Shed based solar system via the existing buried SWA cable run (with a current limiter of course).
