Re: Tesla inverter replacement Board - config




Check the wiki. it’s an open inverter board, same brain for every inverter, just tuned differently for each motor. Open up the web interface and adjust from there.


I’m currently in the planning phase, selecting the components to get in touch with the test agency for a first talk. My ...

Tesla inverter replacement Board - config (power output limitation)

I like to convert an old VW T2b Westfalia with a rear SDU from Tesla. I’m located in Switzerland and the regulations allow 20+ HP without test approval and there’s an approval from Cagero in Switzerland for 119 hp. Both values are below the power output from the SDU. Can I limit only the throttle ...

Re: Charging with Solar Panels

Yesterday late in the evening I found an article from Switzerland regarding EMC problems of one supplier. As I need to get EMC Testing with the converted car the risk to fail is to high to implement this feature (solar) tight up from the beginning,

Forget to mention MPPT is the way to go

Re: Charging with Solar Panels


Look up "PV optimizers". They're MPPT converters designed to be used in series and the number in series depends on the output voltage range you're trying to cover. (Check the datasheet.) If you get a system that supports a programmable total output voltage limit, you only need a blocking diode to ...

Charging with Solar Panels

Inspired by https://solarrolla.com/ and the hopefully upcoming Sion from Sono Motors I plan to use flexible Solar Panels on the roof (extended by a porch roof with solar) of an electrified VW T2 Westfalia camper to get energy for camping in the wild or get energy to charge the traction battery. So I ...
