Pocster Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 My SE battery max charge rate is 5kwh . Is it possible to have 2 SE batteries that ‘share’ the pv input ? . So in theory ( with a large enough pv array ) could charge at 5kw each simultaneously? To achieve this is it an inverter issue/ config ; a “ how it’s all wired up “ issue , or not possible ?

Pocster Posted May 7, 2023 Author Share Posted May 7, 2023 It’s been suggested on a better forum 😁; this is possible . Its unclear if it requires another inverter . Also potentially if both SE batteries were charging and Tesla battery charging and EV charging and house load might push me over my 80A fuse . So fuse requires an upgrade ? - that a DNO issue ??

Johnnyt Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 I believe SE recognise the 2 batteries as one 20kW or should I say one 19.4kW battery and both batteries are charged as one. Unsure if they can be split with just one hybrid inverter but certainly could do with 2 inverters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - I’ve been on another forum ( not pornhub ) and apparently it is possible ; need to talk to my installer once they’ve calmed down … Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have 3 SE batteries according to this https://www.solaredge.com/en/products/residential/storage-and-backup/solaredge-home-battery-400v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverter sorts that out. AFAIK theres a comms link between the inverter and the batteries with each battery pack having a charge controller. Black magic takes place and you're batteries get charged. If its an SE3680H inverter youve got even with 30kwh storage youll still be limited to 3.6kw from the inverter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocster Posted May 10, 2023 Author Share Posted May 10, 2023 My installer has confirmed it ( with 1 inverter ) would be a 5kw charge limit ( as expected ) with excess going to the 2nd battery . It does reduce the chance of ‘missing’ pv generation of over 3.68 on full dc batteries …. Got nearly 6 today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
