Re: Need help with Off-Grid Batteries, Inverters and Panels
AW, Is this a different system/installation than we have been discussing in the other thread? For Off Grid/Backup Power systems, you do need to size the inverters+battery bank to supply surge power t…1 · -
Re: Need help with series or parallel
Yes, your # of solar panel math is correct (based on my guesses/examples). Power Factor is a large discussion in itself--You need to size the branch circuits and main panel+utility on Power Factor fo…1 · -
Re: Need help with series or parallel
Watts is a "rate"--Like Liters per minute Watt*Hours is an "amount'--Like total Liters pumped So, if you have an "average load" of 62250 Watt and run it 10 hours per day…1 · -
Re: Need help with series or parallel
Technically--the utility looks like a "voltage source" (or an "AC Battery"--Which keeps the 230 VAC voltage "stable" regardless of load). A typical Grid Tied Inverter lo…1 · -
Re: Need help with series or parallel
You will do two different designs. First, ignore solar, size the utility drop, the main panel, branch circuits to power each device (lights, AC, elevator, etc.). The utility power runs everything. Ne…1 ·
