Ok, so I was told that a 24v system would be more efficient than a 12v system, does that mean a 48v system would be more efficient than a 24v system?
I am planning to buy another two 12v 100ah deep cycle marine batteries, unless I would be better off using Lithium batteries, so I'm still...
Hello.
I'm brand new here and to solar systems.
I was recently fortunate to get my hands on 14 Jinko bifacial 460w panels, which totals 6 440w. I need to find an inverter/ charge controller capable of handling this, for a 24v system at a reasonable price! Any helpful advice welcomed...
Because I already have 6 ×100ah deep cycle marine batteries, which I can run in series to make 24v, but if it's not practical, then I need to know what is?
I don't know how I should put the panels together! Can I just attach all 14 panels together in series, and just have a pos and neg MC 4 going to the inverter/controller, or is there a better way? Thanks!
I am completely new to solar, so I have no idea what the differences are between the various batteries. I plan to run my camper, an extra freezer, coffee maker, an extra heater or 2 , and a few more appliances, with no connection to the grid soI need storage capacity for about 3 to 5...
Now this is very useful information, thank you!
I found a Magnum PT-100 charge controller for roughly CN $ 1,400.00 that can take up to 6 500w. I wouldn't want to spend much more than that, unless I could find an inverter/charge controller combined that could carry the same load as the...
I genuinely appreciate your responding with me and trying to help me figure all of this out, to get my system up and running! Thank you, thank you , thank you!
If I use my old mini home electric bill for say the month of February, which used 922kwh for the month?
I was hoping to build a system for under $ 6 000 but it doesn't look like that's doable!
I really don't understand all the numbers or what they mean, or how to do the calculations, because I didn't do mathematics in high school. But if you tell me this is what you need, and this is how to put it together, then I can do it! I learned just a few weeks ago what a MC 4 is...
Can I run the 2 strings of 7 panels on 24v or do I have to go to 48v?
My system needs to be reliable with enough storage to get me through a Canadian winter storm, as I am completely off grid, so looking for good quality at a reasonable price! Not looking to pay a premium because it's a brand...
I understand that and I'm building a shed connected to my camper, so that I have a cloud in space "outside " of the camper. I also plan to put boards up around the rest of the camper to help keep out the cold but I still need to generate electricity to run the refrigerator, lights...
