Brilliant video. Thank you. Finn, for the clarity of your explanation and great annimations. Finally, a great system for three-phase homes. Looking forward to the follow-up video in six to twelve months.

Actually Finn... we beat you to the title of "Australia's Fastest Home EV Charger" with my SigenStor with 25 kW DC EV charger modules installed a few months ago :)
I'm a Victron person through and through for ESS, but looking at this - it seems like a worthwhile system to have installed Simply as a Home ESS system without even considering the EV Charging capabilities!

Thanks Finn, great video. It would be great in the future to understand the whole setup including solar panels, the total cost and whether it would be possible for city/city fringe homes to go off-grid. I am prepared to make the switch when I know I can buy a car with bi-directional charging and just need a little extra assurance I can make it work. Or the enthusiasm you have!

I was recently quoted $27200 for a 32kw Sigen system with a 10kw inverter. Exceptionally positive reviews about them, but that works out to $680 a quarter for the next 10 years. My winter bill, the highest of the year was $540. I so much want all the benefits but it’s just too hard to justify.

Have you looked at Amber electric? A battery that size you could sell back to the grid at wholesale prices and make the difference back

Also worth noting that our batteries are fully modular and independently optimised which means it couldn’t be easier to add more batteries in the future…. Start smaller and add more batteries when the budget allows

Needs to intergrate with Amber smart shift! Yesterday, in Adelaide, I had my solar curtail to zero output and ran my house and charged my PW2 at negative prices. All I up I was paid $35. I could only imagine what it would be like using this in the same way and charging a car at 25kw as well.

@SolarQuotes just my thoughts. Nuclear electricity needs 24/7 cashflow. Grid to customers needs 24/7 cashflow. Customers ARE the cashflow. When the sunshines 🌞 With rooftop 7kw PV and 10kwh home battery then NO cashflow to the grid. More customers offgrid for longer With rooftop PV and BV's 100kwh battery and V2G then no cashflow to the grid from all the battery vehicle owners The FREE battery storage with BV's oversized battery parked 23hrs every day and all night long. More customers permanently offgrid.????? Or the grid takes the customers dirt cheap electricity and supplies more industrial customers. The GRID KEEPS ITS CASHFLOW. Happy days. 😊 No nuclear monopolising government money.

If BVs oversized battery is parked 23hrs every day and all night long, then 10kwh home battery is big enough. Daily drives are very small kWh users. Ezi pezi to top up daily.

I believe that every Nissan Leaf ever sold is capable of bi-directional charging. Shame it has taken everyone else so long to understand that it is a great idea. If all EVs were equipped with bi-directional charging, and were plugged in to an appropriate charger when not in use, there would be fewer problems with grid stability, and there would be plenty of places to put the solar surplus...

I'm on my second LEAF and still on the look out for a cost effective off-grid bi-directional charger to work with my original solar set up. I'm not that keen to buy another 10kw battery for cloudy days when i have a 60kwh battery in the LEAF!

What's the legalities if you're only installing these systems for off grid? Surely if it's being installed off grid, you can activate the bidirectional function now?

For clarity, if you want to understand, just look at the basics. The national electricity transmission grid is the connection between millions and millions and millions and millions of customers and their supply of CASH. $100sBILLIONS cashflow. The nation's 100 years to build, $TRILLIONS infrastructure investment. Obviously the owner's need the $100sBILLIONS in cashflow for this $TRILLIONS investment, its maintenance and emergencies. The real relationship is between the $TRILLIONS grid and the millions and millions and millions of customers and their $100sBILLIONS of cash. 😊😊😊😊
