Hi,
I'm trying to find something that'll charge my battery bank from AC power (240V) - and cannot find anything suitable that's under £1000/$1000.
I currently have a Sofar HYD3600-ES hybrid solar inverter/mppt/charger - this thing can and does charge my batteries (from the grid) at up to 3000w, the problem is the device is "dumb" (as in, not smart) - I cannot dynamically via an API/app/online change when I want it to charge and how many kWh's to draw. I currently have to stand in-front of the device and hit the buttons to toggle stuff... (first world problem, I know..)
In the UK, we have dynamic pricing for electricity from the National Grid - meaning, between 01:00 and about 05:00, the price per kWh is a lot cheaper (~6x cheaper) than say 16:00 to 19:00. These prices are published by the energy suppliers via API's - hence why I need something I can control programmatically.
I'm looking for a charger that'll charge my batteries: Pylontech US2000 and US3000 (link) 48V LiFePO4
Any help/advice would be amazing.
Cheers,
