Powerwall V2

Big updates in equipment and what I'm going for .. Bypassing the 24v setup, but still going to use it, and straight to a 48V system.  I have 3x EEL DIY boxes with JK 200A Inverter BMS's.  One box is listed as 280AH, and the other two are 300AH, for a total of 880AH.  Not bad.

All batteries are Gobel EVE LF280K cells.

I'm now using the following components

  1. 48v 880AH LifePo4 Battery
  2. Victron 250/100 Charge Controller for the west roof.
  3. Victron 250/100 Charge Controller for the east roof.
  4. Victron Lynx Power In to handle charging and inverter access
  5. Victron 500A Smart Shunt to monitor battery input and output.

All ready charging car about 90% of the time on solar only. 👍

DIY Powerwall V1

This is a start to pulling my garage off-grid and charging my BOLT EUV, without using the grid.

The set-up I'm trying to emulate is Andy from the Off-Grid Garage and that'll be version 2

Version 1 will be made from hundreds of 18650 Li-ion batteries.
Jehu Garcia on Jag35.com is the one who got me on this trail and his PCB way of creating a battery pack seemed at the time to be the way to go.

I'm currently using the following components

  1. 12v 165AH battery pack. Will be upgrading to a 24v 160Ah pack soon. Then to a 48v 280Ah pack
  2. Victron 150/35 MPPT Charge Controller for the west roof.
  3. Victron 150/35 MPPT Charge Controller for the east roof.
  4. Victron Lynx Power In to handle charging and inverter access
  5. Victron 500A Smart Shunt to monitor battery input and output.
