Hi there
I have just had a SolarEdge Energy Hub installed and I am using their mySolarEdge app
I am still undecided what home battery to get. Their DC one or a powerwall 2
This dilemma has arisen whilst waiting near on 10 months for the Powerwall 2 (which I always had my heart set on) - so what to do now the solaredge alternative is actually available!?
These are my goals adding a battery
1/ Back up. I would like seamless backup of critical network gear.. hopefully with no power loss when the grid goes down which trips the gear. Like a true uninterrupted power supply. Is this possible with either battery choice here? Tesla (Y/N) SolarEdge (Y/N)?
2/ Which gives the better all around control of battery use, charge, discharge etc. My goal is to charge battery in AM thru midday and use battery to power house during hi peak rates from 3pm on... with occasional UPS reserve of critical gear during blackouts
3/ I currently own a Chedomo plug in PHEV. I hope to ALSO get a Tesla Y. So two EVs.. regarding using my batteries (either choice) which will be the better option ..with add on charger cable options etc?
4/ Using the apps. I'd like to stay all within the one App architecture but am aware if I go powerwall 2 I won't see it in the solaredge app. Is that correct? Is there a workaround here?
5/ Power monitoring. Do I still get the SolarEdge monitors installed at the switchboard or does Tesla have their own? What if I want to add further monitoring of sub boards? and large loads like pool pumps and aircons?
6/ If I integrate a powerwall into the SolarEdge energy hub am I basically using the Energy hub as a dumb inverter? ..And never use it;s "smarts"?
7/ How long until the Powerwall 3? a realistic time frame please...
8/ Have a got the correct impression that Tesla and SE are developing into two competing proprietary systems that will never fully integrate?
Thanks!
