Does anyone have experience with a SMA system with the new powerwalls?
I currently have 10kw of solar going through 2 SMA inverters, which then go into 2 SMA Sunny Islands. At the time I bought it, it allowed me to create an "island" to do what a powerwall would be able to do as well. The limitations though was that I needed a dedicated subpanel and I couldn't exceed 5kw of backup storage (good for ~4-6 hours of my critical load panel) It's never been good enough and I have been contemplating a generator purchase, but now I'm wondering if I could hook the powerwall as the whole house backup and either rip and replace the sunny island (expensive and seems wasteful) or have it in addition to the existing system.
Anyone have any ideas?
