So, after havingwatchedJulian's latest mail bag, I decided to check out "Alice" on eBay, and see what they have available.
I came across this nifty piece of gadgetry (~$5):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/DC-AC-Pure-...794356?hash=item48881616f4:g:qNsAAOSw9GhYgvM7
I was looking over the datasheet and I'm wondering how hard it would be to actually make an inverter, or a UPS, for our powerwalls. Afterall, most of everything else is custom made; and inverters are expensive!!! We could even use an old MOT that is rewound to get the transformers needed.
Here's the datasheet:
http://www.lz2gl.com/data/power-inverter-3kw/eg8010_datasheet_en.pdf
So, based off the url (didn't notice it in the datasheet as I didn't read everything, just skimmed), this thing can handle up to 3kw. Correct? Can someone verify this?
The IR2110 FET driver is only a few bucks. As well as the LM393 Dual Voltage Comparator. Those are the 3 main IC's in the inverter/ups build. The only other major expense would be the transformer.
Could it be possible to add in an arduino controller to monitor everything and make this a super smart inverter/ups that gives us loads of information; including efficiency on-the-fly both charge/discharge?
