100kW Tesla Battery Module PowerSafe 100
[ad_1]
We introduce the EVTV PowerSafe100. This is a single box with inverter/charger, 20 Tesla Model S battery Modules in a refrigerator sized device on wheels to store solar energy in an AC-Coupled Solar System. This one device can turn any grid-tied solar system into a SELFISH SOLAR battery power system easily.

Content of the video is very informative. As always.
1:03:31 Is their a blind person operating the camera? Try holding the camera the right up please.
Why does this cost $79,000?
I like the cat….
P.S. For your Powersafe you should have a solenoid lock on the door both for security and safety. For example the software could be set up to require a pin number to release the lock !
Also how do you deal with any heat from the inverter and batteries as the cabinet is sealed is it not ? Coolant loop to an external radiator ? That beast you have built makes a Tesla powerwall look like a PP3 9V battery 😀
That is a very nice bit of kit. You are so lucky living in the states. You cant get EV battery packs in the UK that don't cost twice what you pay ! You cant ship them in as they have to go Hazmat 🙁 I have 3KW of solar, just wish I could get decent batteries to store it. !!! The UK sucks, so many things are so out of date is ridiculous !
By the way…. Are you using the actual Tesla BMS for the packs, an of the shelf one or custom built ?
Keep up the fantastic video's 🙂
OMG. What a YouTube. Very informative. I love your channel. Please. Keep up the good work. Ps. Jack you are so cool and great.
Should have used Model 3 battery modules. There's a metric shitload of those cars getting wrecked.
Dear Jack
I would suggest installing a dual industrial exhaust fans on the top of the cabinet to create a negative air flow inside this gigantic steal furnace box. Maybe a single 12" fan would work but dual is better for redundancy. Also you might consider connecting the two fans to a temperature control sensor for auto variable speeds(PWM), it should assist in the RPM, sound level, and longevity of the whole system. Love your projects and good luck dear Jack.
Pls sell 2 of this tesla model s battery for me
JAMES you need a Face Mask to cut that Grating!!!! Love your show.
Hello, how difficult would it be to set this up to charge this bank with a level 2 charger instead of a using solar?
I don't mean to plug a company on your channel, but I am a fabricator at M&I Electric and they have been making custom switchgear for 70 years. I can't say pricing because I'm just a fabricator, but if you wanted something US made, have you considered giving them a call?
I saw one of those articles about Tesla "needing another $2500 (which does, albeit, go to the purchase price of the car)" to configure your Model 3. I read it with shock and awe. You mean, you don't get to buy the car for the $1000 reservation fee? You have to pay for it too? That clearly spells trouble for Telsa! X-D
I'm a little concerned about efficiency. The solar power gets converted to AC, then goes to the inverter as AC, gets converted again to DC to the batteries. Even under ideal conditions that's a 10-15% loss. The manufacturer said it won't charge the batteries yet it does. While that's awesome to hear, I can't see this being an efficient conversion if the unit was never designed to do that in the first place.
Always good videos from Jack *thumbs up*
Any news about your Model 3?
If James breathes in any more glass fibre reinforced resin dust he may not make graduation—'elf of safety
Do a how to video on how to run the Tesla stock buy/sell so we can all be millionaires.
When the Tesla Pick up truck is available (few years) I'd like to purchase one of those SDEX-20KW inverters and strap it down in the back. It will run off the drive batteries. My dream portable power supply.
Nice use of Tesla packs. Get that inverter into a separate cabinet and add an external battery disconnect…
Really need a check on sound as it’s being recorded… :(. My hearing sucks and I can’t make out a word. CC doesn’t help much as was mentioned… -Lee
At 1h.27 all the white noise who made it hard to hear you is gone. I don't know what the noise is caused by, but I would try and fix that.
That intro makes me think I'm about to watch a miniseries about the British monarchy.
Kind of looks top heavy. If it starts to tip get out of the way.
Move everything down as low as possible.
The inverter should be in the bottom for longevity so it wont be affected by heat generated by charging the batteries,cool setup👍
Intro music sounds like something from an 1950's Disney movie like "Old Yeller".
Having some isolated Low Voltage DC for Critical Loads from a 400V Battery is essential since all does not die in case of Inverter failure.
You can use a Meanwell typeB HLG for 400V input – Isolated 12/24/48 DC Out.
60 cell Front bussbar panels are bit big for mobile applications. watch for cell microfractures. The Sunpower patent expired. No micro fractures with more flexible . Solaria, LG, etc. Backcontact type cells. We never use front bussbar old fasion type PV in Hurricane country.
Jack you hit a grand slam with this set up. Its portable sorta 🙂 everything is contain within the unit only thing needed is solar panels solar charge controller and here's the funny one genarator for backup
Just gotta love it
Jack run your positive bus bar all the way to the bottom of the battery stack before it connects to the stack so that you get
"cross flow" and it will ballance all the module voltages
Sorry that i wrote all over those modules.
Jack, wherever you bought that mic at return it and get your money back. This video has the worst sound quality of all your videos, including the one you played background music on. I even muted the video and turned on closed caption on this video, but the closed caption kept thinking the noise was background music. I hope you can redo this video with narration or in your green screen office.
Jack, we are missing that lapel mic. Lots of background noise in this video.
Can you make a 'PowerSafe 30' in which can be towed by a EV? In other words, built on a light weight motorcycle tow behind Al trailer but have all of the connections like the 100.
its going to over heat with that inverter in that cabnet
The guy with Jack is an overtalker. He needs to have the respect to listen. Jack keep up the excellence. As always a pleasure.
My concern would be the build up of heat in the container. May have to hook up the coolant system for the batteries to make it a go. But very solid setup May need to make adjustment for shipping as they always drop stuff…
Guys, your videos are interesting but most of the content is audio, there's not a lot going on visually, so the zero fucks given on the audio capture really make it hard to get through more than a few minutes.
Jack is overdue for a heart attack, most people ignore the signs, what I see is difficult to ignore.
Anybody wonder what Jack's favorite color is?…
I wish you would produce more videos .
