You probably already know it will fail shortly after civil war breaks out due to gun confiscation etc., but you decided to stay. Just the way it goes >:) Realistically, I'd expect 10-15 yrs.1 · -
Re: Solar panel math assistance
My 48v nominal bank is at 87% SOC this morning, which would have a resting voltage of ~50v. Classics are charging in bulk at 51.5v. Yes, a bit higher than resting for that SOC so current flows to th…1 · -
Re: Solar panel math assistance
IMHO, controller capacity shouldn-t be calculated using absorb voltage (when current will be tapering anyway). Max current would likely be in bulk, so a lower voltage (eg 48v, roughly 50% SOC seems m…1 ·
