Hi All, and thank you for opportunity to ask questions. Though I will contribute my experience later on. I am non-native English speaker but I know you all are smart guys to understand what I mean.
I would like to run my dehumidifier (170watt) and small electric heater panel (300watt) through solar panel during the day and solar panels will be fitted in my garden. In a sunny day I have around 6 hours of direct sunlight in my garden in winter. I live in UK so considering mostly cloudy weather I need some advice.
I don’t need battery as I want these units work only in the day to warm up my daughter’s room (around 12 sqm) and keep dehumidifier clear the air. So not saving from electricity bill but keep the room warm in the day is initial target.
I decided to buy 2x JA Solar JAM54S30-405/MR panels. Very affordable prices around £180 per panel (at least it’s good for me)
Specifications:
What kind of inverter I need? What kind of controller you recommend? Shall I buy 1 more solar panel? I am asking these because I don’t want to buy a controller or inverter which is more capable then what it’s required.
I don’t understand technical readings but I am very much able to trim/extend cables, run them through house using trunking and junction boxes doing neat job (master of using drill machines and making deep holes carefully not touching wires and pipes and seal them).
Is it doable?
Thank you for your time reading. I will take pictures and write my exprience later.
