I don't have grid power currently but plan to have it in the future. I don't plan to sell to them.
I would like a system that can support home and shop loads until I get grid power and also have the ability to either power a 20hp (15kw) 208/240/460 3 phase motor for a saw mill or charge a 240v 11.5kw single phase electric car when I have sufficient sunlight. I have a nice light tower 6500w 240v 25amp split phase generator to use for backup charging. I can buy a 3 phase gen at auction if needed. I currently have 3000w of solar panels, 3kw split phase inverter, and 10kw battery to run the basics at my homestead.
Rough outline for new system (please advise as needed)
20k ish of solar - Any tips on where to buy cheap skids of panels would be appreciated. I'm in the SE.
15ish of 3 phase inverters
20ish of single phase
43k ish of batteries - Looking at EVE or CATL 300ah ish cells, 48 total, Would like advice on best BMS for this system
I was initially looking at schinder xw and victron quattro inverters ac coupled to a large grid tie inverter and dc coupled to a smaller charge controller. With 120/240 autotransformers and 3 phase converters as needed but I'm not sure this is the most efficient method. I'm also hesitant to buy into those platforms with all the needed accessories that are clearly overpriced. I have Asian inverters now that work fine but the AC/generator assist functions coupled with the programmability of the aforementioned brands is something I find very intriguing.
