Joe can't you just get a 110v to 240v converter ?
I don't know about that cause it's not something we do here in the UK.

This is the one surely? I can't see any issues with it at all apart from being out of stock
""120V/240V split phase output without needing to parallel"
Yes but it is going to be taken up by the Prius 220vdc
Some have two MPPTs , but most only have one

Not saying it's the best and only solution buy it is a solid inverter in the bottom tier pricing.

Would certainly get OP up and running

There are 2 covers back there, 1 covering the battery, 2 covering the circuits etc
You'll take the smaller cover off, closer to passenger side of car
Dont be discouraged, if the car is off, that circuit is also off even if the plug is still in, i checked it when installed
been meaning to get this to you for awhile now
When i was looking the internet for these images, the closest i found was an 8 year old grainy video, I couldn't see at all what he was doing

SolarCity H6 hybrid inverter
I can get a good deal on this one, will it work for my application?

Those cables are absurdly large. Look at the ~5awg wire running to the inverter.
10awg would have sufficed, and it would have allowed more sensible terminals and for you to keep the cover in place.
No. The specs clearly say 430-550V on the battery. Reading specifications and understanding them is a fundamental requirement here. This tells me either it's over your head, or you can't be bothered to make the effort. Either way, this stuff probably isn't for you.

I see it saying 85-550V...

This is the manual I am using...

What do you say, can we go around in circles about UL 1741 CSA again?

Where do you see it will operate without a battery?

this is the reason you guys are incredible
I was looking at "DC operativing voltage range"
What does this mean exactly? That for this to work, one would need a battery bank with voltage between 430-550V? One could make that with ten 48V batteries wired in series?

Am i correct when i say:
If i plug into it the prius high voltage (200V), and have a battery bank of ten 48V batteries, that it will work?
The batteries are doable...

Ok let me figure out what BMS means, and I need to see the cost of 48V batteries
joesmith123

Isnt the BMS located inside the solarcity H6 inverter?

Battery Management System.
I attached some photos from my builds, look for the big shiny aluminum plates.
Huh?

Yes, or externally if you like your cells naked and exposed.

Im reading in the manual that it wants the "tesla powerwall" and those are 9-10K

Gotta pay to play...
I'd be looking for what BMS it will communicate with, if coms are even needed. Otherwise, you could build a pack to the needed voltage. https://diysolarforum.com/threads/best-bms-solutions-for-larger-120s-lifepo4-384v-strings.19357/
Be careful with this voltage, and any, but extra careful with DC at high voltage.

Yes I would rather not go down this route, I am looking at doing the 48V battery setup, with the inverters mentioned previously...
I have to get this resolved, because the prius died and started to burn up the 12V system to the point where it was completely off
I solved it today, but I no longer can pull from the 12V side, it is burning things up
I need to get this figured out but dont want to make mistakes
