I currently have a 10 KW system. There are 2 Solar Edge HD Wave 5KW inverters and 44 285 watt panels in the system. I would like to take a stepwise approach to converting it to a hybrid system.
Steps
1) Design the final goal ~30-50 KWH batteries usable, 10 KW constant power consumption, 20 KW peak consumption, Automatic switch over and switch back.
2) Assemble electronics and minimal batteries, a few KWH.
3) Install minimal configuration.
4) Add batteries as I can afford them, when I see good deals, etc. (a mix of batteries may be possible).
Since batteries seem to be the biggest cost I would stretch the acquisition of those over time as prices seem to be coming down.
I need help with step 1. I am unclear where I can get help on designing the core switching and solar array throttling components needed.
