I have 8 batteries (each pack with 4 cells) @12 Volts all reading 13.37V. They're marked BYD Auto but they were apparently (lightly) used in a solar storage application a few years back (they came from atheist China, so the old lady wasn't even driving her BYD sedan to church on Sunday.)
I also have two Delta Q battery chargers programmed for 48 and 72 Volts respectively.
I originally thought I'd buy some additional panels, controllers, etc. for off-grid applications to learn more about the subject but is there anything I can do to integrate the batteries into my house power with 10 kW existing microinverter-based grid-connected solar?
Clouds are "killing" me during expensive TOU periods and storing my excess production for the nightly or low sunlight use of some kind, instead of feeding Georgia Power at 4 cents/kWh, would be ideal.
I'm a battery/backup newb and not sure where to go with this and if it's even worth pursuing. What would you guys recommend and what ideas do you have?
EDIT: One crude idea I had was to connect all packs in parallel, charge them from an outlet (but using what equipment?) during the day and then run a small AC unit during summer or radiator during winter (both at 750W) at night using my 12V Xantrex 1kW inverter.
