I was very interested in the Lightning backup system - and then realized that the "bidirectionality" (energy out via DC ports of CCS) was off-grid only using Delta BDI hybrid inverters for home backup. I do not believe that the Ford's HV battery can be recharged (say by excess solar) as the schema only shows DC energy flowing into the BDI via the Ford Charge Station Pro when off grid - no "DC" based charging. Can the FCSP somehow provide AC based charging to the Lightning when off grid so that excess solar can be utilized? That does not appear to be part of the system specifications (see link).The Ford "Power Play" runs DC from the battery to the home inverter, but AFAIK there's no way to tap into the Cybertruck pack directly. Powershare outputs AC through the NACS port.
Bottom line to me is that the system's basic design of the FCSP is for V2H only - and limited to a single charge of the HV battery - definitely not a true island able microgrid based on V2X . Can anyone correct this assumption?
I realize this is not directly germane to the Powershare, but I am struggling to understanding the different limitations of the AC based V2X capabilities of the CT with full solar/wind energy capabilities both on and off grid i.e., the CT's HV battery is simply another backup battery that can be used for energy arbitrage, grid resilience, reliability, etc. etc. AND will I be able to trade my MYLR when/if a similar "powershare" capability (PCS?) is available?
