We've done some off grid EV charging, and one thing that makes life much easier, is to go to the lower power chargers.  So far, we've just done PV to battery inverter to AC charger to car.  less efficient, but less trouble.  We've also setup dedicated charging outlets/ circuits on relays to pri

Mac, You can charge with DC directly from a PV solar array without an inverter or regulator. The current is self limiting by the amount of PV solar power you are making at any moment. The magic is knowing know how to trigger the charge port communications so your EV controller knows that there

Hi Jason, et al., Applications in our size range don't come up too often on this list, so I've been mostly an appreciative lurker, but I'd like to introduce myself as the contact for Genasun and Blue Sky Energy, (and the engineer behind the GVB-8 controller in question). To address a few of the q
