Abstract
An energy blending device has a first input for alternating current, a second input for connection to a solar array, and an output, the energy blending device receiving energy from the first input, both inputs coupled to power an energy blending node. The device is in a configuration either with the solar array matching a voltage of the energy blending node, the blending node providing power through a DC-DC converter to a load interface device, and the solar array coupled through a DC-DC converter to the energy blending node, the energy blending node providing power to a load interface device. A microcontroller controls the DC-DC converter and a load interface device. The energy blending device has an energy storage system having a battery coupled either directly to the energy blending node or through a bidirectional energy storage interface to the energy blending node.
