Hi everyone,
I have just completed my PV install at my Swiss home. I have a Fronius Symo 12.5.3 inverter and 46 Solarworld Glass/Glass Protect modules. I currently produce about 60 to 70KWh per day
My question is this:
I am involved in the IT industry a client recently moved offices and I received a 3 Phase 20KW APC Silcon UPS including 2 battery trays as the new premises already had a UPS in place.
There are 16 Battery Shelves consisting of eight 12V 7AH Batteries, thats a total of 128 Batteries ! Is there anyway to use the UPS to store the excess power generated by the Solar inverter?
Someone said I would need to throw out the UPS and keep the batteries, get 3 Victron Multi pass inverter chargers (or 3 Sunny Island units) and connect one to each phase after my municipal meter before the grid tie inverter.
This would allow me to have greater self utilization of my power created ( we don't get a feed in tariff there is a waiting list of over 4 years )
Any clever plans ?
Many thanks
Ruedi
