I just want to follow up on the need to charge the LEAF from a minimal solar array. I am looking at a few KWHrs of charge for a locally used LEAF. Because of a lot of neighbor trees my solar array has only partial solar exposure. The array charges a set of deep cycle batteries - a 24 Volt...

Thanks for the information. I have very limited sun due to neighbors trees. However my driving is usually very limited so the solar that I have now does re-charge the LEAF most of the time which was my goal. I do have a 240 V connection as well so that can be used if needed. As a temporary...

Thanks Wayne, That was it! The inverter output is floating. So just tying the common to ground makes it work. My only complaint now about using the inverter is that from the solar battery to the car battery the efficiency is only about 50%. 70A at 24 Volts solar battery seems to supply...

Sorry about profile. I can't figure out how to edit it. It was not clear what information was asked for. I did buy the Leaf used on Dec 5, 2013. It had 45,000 mi on it and is in beautiful condition. The battery is down 3 bars probably because it was charged through the QC port a lot. It...

OK, Your information is very useful! I was unaware the the DC port was so demanding. The information I had so far seemed like it was very flexible and a Nissan employee thought it would be a reasonable project. So going with plan B: I have a 24 Volt solar charged battery system with deep...

Does anyone have information on using the 480V DC port to charge the LEAF directly from Solar? One could use a DC to DC converter to generate the correct charging voltage from a lower voltage solar array. I am new to this forum having just purchased a used Leaf with 45,000 miles on it with a...
