Plug in solar with grid tied setup
I’ve already got a pre installed grid tied battery and solar set up. For reference the battery and house inverter is the Alpha ESS b3 plus.
I regretted originally not getting more battery capacity installed & now I can no longer easily source the battery add ons for my setup, so a plug in solar/storages setup will n paper seemed the easiest but I’m struggling to find writeups on how a plug-in setup would work with my existing kit.
I’m likely to go the lazy route and get a ecoflow stream setup of some capacity and enough panels to feed it and run a few power hungry computers off of the stream and any spare load to go back into the house.
What I’m trying to understand is what will happen when the power ecoflow is supplying to the house? Will my alpha house battery drain first and then any extra capacity be taken from the ecoflow? Will the ecoflow drain first? Will it all explode?! I realise as well any monitoring/ct clamps will need to be placed in the correct places.
What I want to happen is the house battery gets drained first, but if the load on the house battery is too high, the ecoflow will help, and then if the load is too high for both the grid picks up the rest until both batteries are empty.
Thanks for any help! I have a good amount of technical knowledge but with this sort of set up want to aim for as much ‘plug and play’ as possible.
