EVSE to Sigineer to Charge Home Batteries

Yes it is.

Sorry then I am slow.

So the EVSE is on your house being fed by the grid. You want to get power from it to charge your battery system. But not use the grid.

That doesn't really make sense.

Is it that the EVSE is on a separate meter? If so just wire to the input side of the EVSE. Same result, less stuff to buy. Same usage pattern if the utility checks.

I want to use the EVSE from the grid to power the batteries during specific hours where it costs less to do so. The program utilizes the chargers internal reporting for the amount of power used to charge a battery powered device.

In order for the EVSE to begin charging it needs a J1772 adapter to perform the handshake to tell it to begin charging.

one question

how are you handling the N=G bond?

I missed this message.
So I think that may be part of my issue currently, I was not aware of a bond issue with this inverter.

So I got the cable in, tried it, and it caused my EVSE to through a GFI error still.
