This is a shout out to the most nerdy of my Tesla peeps.
Florida is trying to nuke net metering (yea, I know. Instead of charging net metering customers for grid use and growing distrubuted production, FPL wants to force net metering customers back to FPL's primary mission of burning fossil fuels for power. We really are beyond repair.).
Back when I first looked at solar 8 or so years back I was going to use an 85 kWh-hr scrap battery intact with a simple low current in line buck-boost converter along with panels in series to generate around the same voltage as the pack's range. This combined high voltage would be directed to the home inverter for AC.
My question for all is has anyone followed through with this idea? I see a lot of people disassembling packs to re-arrange modules and even using the stock BMS on the module to monitor things. It seems a lot of work when dealing with the existing pack's high voltage allows you to keep all that lovely Tesla packaging and place the battery outside for fire reasons.
Thanks
Bill
