The best solar company in Australia just installed my new solar system.

[martinwalker]

I installed an automatic transfer switch and additional wiring to my downstairs and bedroom 18000 BTU air conditioners. As my BYD seal can only supply 2.2KW (10amps) I can only run one air con at a time so I have to select which air con I want to power from my EV. When I plug in the V2L the ATS automatically disconnects my selected air con from the grid and uses the EV supply. I use the downstairs air con from 5pm to 10pm then switch to the bedroom from 10pm to 7 am. I use about 8. to 12 kwhrs per night from my EV then plug the charger in the morning to recharge my EV from solar. I designed the system myself but had the wiring installed by a professional electrician. Had the system 4 months, use it every day and it works a treat.

Great! My Atto 3 will now receive DC directly from my solar PV, and return it to my house when needed - converted to AC. Excellent. Thanks Sam.

[BigVine-mi]

I have a 400 W inverter and I use it when the power goes
out occasionally. I have enough power for my laptop, my
lights, my tv, and most importantly, my blender.

[davidallen]

We've run fridge & freezer with the Atto3 when there was a blackout. (Directly) Atto3 can do this for weeks.

Thanks for all your videos. It is a no brainer that you should be able to use the huge battery in an EV to power your home. The Australian Government should be helping to facilitate the changes needed to enable this in the near future. It is a win, win, win. Help solve the reliability issues with renewable energy if you could choose to make you EV available to back up the grid, better for the climate, use old EV batteries as home batteries, mandate that power companies should provide the option for households sell power from their batteries back to the grid when demand is high and charge at low prices when renewables are plentiful. Good on SA for allowing this. Other states should get on board. Makes more sense spending our tax dollars on this than Nuclear power imho.

[GraemeEdwards-ho]

V2L at 2.2kw is more than my current off grid solar provides. This facility is a must for any EV I end up purchasing. As yet there isn't a suitable reasonably priced one available. I need serious 4wd capability with high clearance. I presently drive a Delica. If I could get an electric version, I'd be in it tomorrow.

[racymasey]

I live in SA, I have an approved vehicle for VTH/VTG .
Bottom line is there are currently no Bi-directional chargers approved for Australia.
Chris Bowen pull your finger out, or Ill go back to internal combustion.

[peterengland]

MG4, have V2L cable to 16a CEE, a 16a CCE socket with 16a RCBO running back to a 63a change over switch grid/off/V2L. Had 3 power cuts in last year, this powers my whole house.
Others on MG4 forums have load tested this until the car inverter trips out, they got to 6600 watts. I have tested mine to 3200 watts, thats toaster, kettle, oven, a/c, my average daily usage is 7.5kwh, background load 200watts, peaks 1500watts.

V2G is vehicle to grid—exporting power from your EV battery to the grid. V2H is vehicle to home—running your home on your EV battery. V2L is vehicle to load—running electric tools/appliances from your EV battery

[hanswitvliet]

There are regular solar inverters, and hybrid inverters, intended to hook up home batteries and solar panels.
Furthermore, those hybrid inverters come in two groups: for low voltage batteries (48v), and high voltage (400v) batteries.
What (I think)is missing, is the software to manage the individual cells of those batteries….

[johnfrancis]

There may be safety issues using the car battery to power the grid - as some of the current may leave your house and enter the grid. So I would definitely use the inverter system in between the car and the house’s power system. V2G would be a fantastic asset if there are power outages especially for fridge freezers and computers and bizarrely for controlling gas boilers for hot water or radiators.

[freetrailerpoor]

As long as you can get 12vdc, 110ac ac, 220vac, you can use energy for a home. 2.2 kw is usable for a home. You can use it with a pecron 3500 for your dryer and washer. Also you can use dc refrigerators too.

[lewnetoons]

My thought is to get a salvaged leaf or the like, charge it with solar and directly fix a 11kw generator to the drive motor. then use that to power the house and charge batteries.

[aljoubert]

Dangerous advice. Your home battery inverter will shut off the "grid" section in case of a power outage for amongst others safety reasons.
PS: current Tesla will never support V2L or VTG. They do not have bidirectional power electronics. Not sure about the M3 Highland.

[sdewaard]

At the moment, this only works for 3 phase connections to the grid. In Germany most households would have this, but in many other countries this is uncommon or even impossible / unaffordable

[rosswalters]

I may be a little confused about V2G and V2H. I thought V2H meant you could use your EV to send power to your house, and V2G was basically sending power from your EV back into the grid similar to your solar feedin tarrif.

[AddyGoose]

If you use the car to top up your home battery over night, 2.2kw is more than enough.
My home usually only uses 0.3-0.5kw throughout the night.
When you wake in the morning you have a full battery ready to go, the car would still have plenty of charge if it was coming from 100%. Win-Win

[yuglesstube]

Isolation from grid to protect utility workers?

[steveclancy]

One of Sam's recent claims was that he is making 10 dollars a day from feed in tariffs off his solar
I like to point out that in nsw where Sam is the maximum you can feed back to the grid is 5 kw for single phase connections and 10kw for 3 phase connections
Most house only have single phase limiting the feed in to around 40 to 50kw in the very best of times for solar on a large system
Feed in tariffs are around 10 cents at best meaning it's more like 4 or 5 dollars
Not sure if Sam's just not understanding how feed in works by trying to tell people they can make 10 dollars a day from feed in
