Re: Examples of changing discharge current on KH inverters

This is great thanks. My overall idea is: House: 23:30 to 05:30 - House batteries/inverter to set to charge from grid to 100% 05:30 to 23:30 - House batteries/inverter to set to discharge/supply house Car: Car setup with Octopus intelligent Go to 8:00am and 80% charge needed Car will be plugged in ...

Re: Examples of changing discharge current on KH inverters

brill thanks Dave!

one small comment - You talk about changing "charge current", my use case is to prevent EV charging from draining the battery so don't you mean "discharge current" ?

Examples of changing discharge current on KH inverters

Long story but because of the way that we plan to have the EV charger (granny socket) & Hybrid inverter (H or K series) in the garage on the opposite side of the house (fed by a 16mm 3 core evultra cable) we don't have the option to place a CT clamp so it avoids the EV charger. So... Hopefully ...

Re: Hello from Chester !

Yep Cheers Dave. I'll circle back on here when i have more info. I think it's an interesting mixture of different Solar technologies which will be deployed over a longer than normal timeframe. btw - I wonder if Tigo would be an option on the 3 panel ones with a Fox ESS micro inverter for ...

Re: Hello from Chester !

Thanks for your comments Dave, a few follow up comments: a) KH9 vs KH7 Yes - I was originally looking at the H5/H6 but jumped up to the K series to get an extra MPPT. I think the key question will be how many mppt do I really need on my roof (so my end state panel design). b) delayed Foxess micro ...

Hello from Chester !

Hi all ! :) Just joined the forum and currently have nothing (yet!). I am looking at hybrid inverter & battery, solar etc and i'm 99% certain it'll be a Fox Hybrid inverter with cube battery system. I already have an EV (VW iD3) which is being charged via a granny cable via intelligent octopus go ...

Re: Stop battery discharge when charging EV overnight

.... The inverter seems to have other CT inputs (apart from CT1 on the grid) so perhaps one around the EV charger output would let it know the charger was running and not to allow the battery to drain? .... Sorry to reply to this old post but this line in your original post does make complete sense ...
