Hi all,
Just musing here. I am looking at installing some solar collectors on my roof. Then a thought hit me. My house runs on AC current. My EVSE sends that AC power to my car and it converts it to DC current to be stored in the battery. The premise of the DC Quick Chargers is that they do the conversion and delivery a bunch of DC to the battery and bypass the onboard converter. So, back to solar. My solar panels would produce DC power. I would then convert it to AC and use that in my home. Some of which might be used to charge my FFE. DC to AC and back to DC. Is there any possibility of a device that would take the DC directly from the solar and deliver it directly to the car battery? Maybe even bypass the onboard unit.
I'm sure smart people have already considered this, and since I don't see anything written about it, have dismissed it as impractical.
Any thoughts?
