PowerShare and Enphase?

[aries]

We have a large Enphase based solar and battery system that powers the whole house. The battery capacity on that system is fully maxed out, cannot add more capacity to it. A standby generator is also integrated that can carry the whole house including the car chargers. These are all integrated by the Enphase system controller and operate seamlessly.

I‘m interested to know if powershare can interoperate with this system in any way? Can a powershare EVSE simply be installed in place of current EVSE and used / how can PowerShare tell the difference when we run on grid vs enphase battery+solar vs generator and does it care?

I haven’t really been able to find any clear answers on this as all seems to be focused on power wall integration only.

Can anyone shed any light on this? Honestly I don’t know that we need PowerShare given the existing system capabilities and capacity so this is more of a curiosity question to understand what is possible.

Thanks!

Isn’t enphase coming out with their own version of PowerShare? I run their setup too fwiw - very happy with it.

Like you call out, without a Tesla Gateway, Powershare wouldn't know when to function.
With that setup, it may be most optimal to use the bed 240 40A outlet to feed the Enphase generator input. Could also use Powershsre Gateway to do the same thing at 48A. But not sure that's really very helpful.

Any update on this?

I have an Enphase system as well. Mine is already complicated as I have the daylight backup in my combiner and a manual transfer switch in my panel for the Generator.

I purchased my CT 6 weeks ago and would love to have this as a part of my power strategy...

Living in a rural area in Florida, every year I suffer a power outage for a few days from bad storms and want to diversify my power.
