BTW, you were right!
While the labels on the devices state 500 and 750W the normal usage is only about 85 and 145W. I saw it on the usage chart of the solar system. But the 1.6KWH of daily usage is correct.
This is my first post!
I just bought this ECO-Worthy kit and plan to install it in my garage running a fridge and freezer totally off grid.
Over the last few days I had a power consumption meter connected and it turns out, the fridge and the freezer combined use a mere 1.6KWh per day. I...
Thanks for the feedback! I am pretty sure my watt numbers are correct. My power consumption meter shows exactly that: about 500W usage when the freezer is running, 750W when the Fridge is going and about 1250WW when they are both running. the meter even shows historic low (3.5W) when both are in...
Thanks Matt, that's what I thought...
As for the fuse sizing, does a150A RV breaker sound right to go in between the battery and the AIO?
And 20 or 25 A for the AC side?
Thanks.
Obviously there is a clear relevance, Thanks.
The only issue is that the shortest distance in that table is 50 feet. Also, the bottom of the table has a "Note2" that says: distance from power source (per lead), so I don't think we have to use the round trip distance.
Bottom line: I feel good...
I just wanted to post an update:
My system has been running for about 3 weeks now. and for the most part, it runs as intended. Here are some pictures of the installation:
However, there is one thing that bugs me and I just wanted to see if this is a issue due to my "economy components" or if it...
In regards to the wire sizes... they included two 4AWG battery cables (red and black). Isn't that too small? Or is it OK because they are only 36 inches long?
Yeah, you are probably right with the battery size... 200Ah would be better... but hey, I got to have something I can look forward to upgrading...
BTW, the MPPT of the AIO is 30-85VDC (100V max open voltage).
I was wondering if the supplied solar hookup cables are big enough... what is the min...
how are you guys able to "remove" tiles in the "middle" of the roof? Isn't each tile fixated?
I would think you have to remove all tiles from the top until you get to the tiles that are far enough down...
Am I missing something?
The supplied wire is 105 C rated. Quite flexible for its size too.
And yes, ampacity is just a funny way of saying amp-capacity, aka max amp... meant to comment on that earlier :-)
I thought the length of the wire also plays into that topic. Does anybody have a table that shows ampacity as a...
