Should have asked for a Macan Badge for the Taycan! Lol.Charlie likes a challenge!
No reason not to charge from Solar with the Porsche Mobile Connect Chargerit’s a bit of a con, the charge is really a charger for use at home mounted either in or out of the optional case.
it’s way too bulky for mobile use but as I’m getting a Zappi installed next week (so I can charge from solar) then I’ll just keep the Porsche one as a backup via the 5 pin 32 amp socket as it will allow 11kw charging.
the difference between the Zappi and Porsche is that the Zappi can be set to charge just off solar.No reason not to charge from Solar with the Porsche Mobile Connect Charger
no, I just went for 3 phase solar, no battery.When charging from solar, I’m assuming you harvest the solar energy in a battery? I’m looking at this, got a guy coming in a few weeks.
10KW of solar, so that’s a lot of panels? Also what happens at night if your charging? Just pull from the grid?no, I just went for 3 phase solar, no battery.
if you go for a battery on 3 phase then you can either go battery (like the Tesla powerwall) which can only discharge on phase or a D.C. battery over 3 phases.
You have to look at the total amount including solar and battery and make sure you don’t go over the export limits with you DNO.
my solar, zappi, eddi, Harvi get installed next Friday, 10kw of solar.
feel free to ask or drop me a pm as I’m a solar ninja now after reading up on all things solar/batteries.
yep, 28 panels spread across 3 phases so 3.3kw max per phase.10KW of solar, so that’s a lot of panels? Also what happens at night if your charging? Just pull from the grid?
The solar panels generate DC, the Powerwall stores DC, and the Taycan charges with DC. Why do you have to convert in between to three phase AC? What fraction of the energy is lost as waste heat in the DC to AC, then AC to DC conversions between the solar panels and the Taycan battery? I have no experience with this; just puzzled.yep, 28 panels spread across 3 phases so 3.3kw max per phase.
I’m no electrician but my understanding is that regardless if you have single or 3 phase at home both are AC so therefore to charge the car with your household circuit you need to charge via AC.The solar panels generate DC, the Powerwall stores DC, and the Taycan charges with DC.
