Upcoming first time solar system and 'high' capacity battery owner here. I'm going to be installing a hybrid Deye 12 kW inverter with a 5 kWh LiFePO4 battery setup. I have no idea how the inverter setup works yet, so please bear with me.
I would like to charge my EV solely using solar energy, unless the sun is down and I have to buy it from the grid.
The 3 phase 11 kW EV charger (Easee Home) is just wired into mains power (not exactly sure how that works). If the solar energy is 0, but the car is charging, what happens? My guess is that the house battery kicks in, but since the EV charger is connected to the same circuit as the rest of the house, the EV gets charged using the house battery - which I don't want.
What do I need to separate those things? In an ideal world, I would like to be able to toggle this feature on and off, so that if I eventually get a really large house battery, and the electricity price skyrockets, I can use a few kWh of the house battery to charge the EV battery (in case of an emergency only).
Thanks!
