AC Coupled battery charger recomendations.

[thomas]

Well with the price of electric going to hit 50p/kwh the cost of a battery storage is looking more and more cost feasible.
I already have a grid tied PV system installed unfortunately I did not got for a hybrid inverter (Solis 5g).

I would really like some recommendations on another system to charge and manage an ion lithium battery storage which would work with what I’ve already got instead of having to buy a new inverter.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Bollocks to citations at that cost, I would be burning coal in the back yard.

Maybe drip some water on it to make H and CO.

The H as fuel, the CO to speed up the end.

This is what Eon is trying to push me onto. My supplier was one of the ones who went bust, I used to pay 12p per unit tail end of last year.

While this may be an extreme it's what's available on the market right now and energy prices wont go down from the 26p the normal is at the moment

 

Thank you everone for their input into a charger.

Just leave it on standard variable and benefit from the cap, for now, at a bargain 31p per kWh.
