Ok. Is this easier to do with a APC Symmetra PC Power Array system?
I found one for a good price for pickup 16Kva for $1800. -----Original Message----- From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] On Behalf Of Chuck McCown Sent: Wednesday, August 30, 2017 3:11 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT Home Battery Array, Generator and Solar Readiness How many kwh is that? Batts can be had for 15 cents per watt hour - or - $150 per kWh. Inverters come in at 15-30 cents per watt. Lets say you want a 20 kWh battery, DIY it should cost $3K for the batts. 10 kW will run most homes unless you have all the AC and clothes dryers running at the same time. So $1500 for an inverter. -----Original Message----- From: Sterling Jacobson Sent: Wednesday, August 30, 2017 3:03 PM To: 'af@afmug.com' Subject: [AFMUG] OT Home Battery Array, Generator and Solar Readiness Looks like it’s about $6k plus installation for a TESLA Wall battery. Couldn’t I just get about 10 $165 batteries and put them in an array in my utility room? I’ve got a Generac transfer switch that I haven’t hooked up. Ideally I would like to have ‘clean’ power through some sort of whole home inverter/conditioner for regular utility power. Then if the power glitches I would like to seamlessly run off a battery array for a few minutes until the Generator comes online. Then have a whole home generator on NG for any extended power outages. But I’m having a hard time finding online any sort of DIY or sample/guide for electricians to make this. Is this not ‘normal’ now days? I don’t have solar, but would like to consider it in the future as well. Wife doesn’t like the look of panels on the roof ☹
