Im planning/ building a small PV/powerwall system that I intend to run my pool pumps & equipment from. My goal is to power the pool completely from solar (as much as possible) and draw from the grid only when the batteries are too low. I do NOT want to sell power to the grid.
Looking for recommendations on inverters that can do this; Draw DC from the PV/Batteries most of the time, and draw from grid only when DC voltage is below a specified cutoff.
So far, Ive only confirmed that the Outback Radian inverters will do exactly what I want (in Mini-Grid Mode), But may be overkill for my application, and Im looking for a cheaper alternative.
Any recommendations?
Design Criteria:
Approx daily consumption: 7-9 kWh
Max. Load approx 2.5 kW
Powerwall: 14s,40p
PV Solar: TBD. Approx 2 kW
Location: San Francisco Bay Area
