Hello,
I am homeless/off-grid and living in a cargo container in the Mojave Desert. I have acquired 10 each Jinko panels that range in wattage but are around 315-350 watts each. That is my starting point. I need to know what to buy next starting with combiner boxes and then the charge controller and then an inverter and so on and so on. I know I want the system it to be a 24 volt system. I know I will probably be starting with lead acid batteries. I have been using a couple of small panels from harbor freight for a couple of years. I am hoping that someone will help me design and be willing to let me contact them later on when I have questions.
My budget is near zero now but it could grow. I need to know how to wire it up with the combiners, and what size and type I need. Then I need to know what size of charge controller to buy, given which configuration the panels eventually are strung together. I’m pretty resourceful when it comes to acquiring things cheaply but what I need is a couple of options that I can switch to if my budget increases. Basically, I need help. I am homeless and have lived in a cargo container for the last four years. If someone is willing to provide me with the opportunity to call them a few times for additional advice, I will be able to make it through another Mojave Desert summer.
Thanks
Sincerely
Andy G
