Re: Basic electrics calculations.
In addition to losses in battery charging, inverter, etc., some other factors involved in theoretical load run time: - battery voltage will drop as it discharges, so current will increase for a given…1 · -
Re: Battery and charger recommendations?
I agree LA will be around for some time yet. That said, the low-temp issue is solvable by heating the bank a bit. It isn't hard to imagine a scenario in which the massive increase in lithium based ba…1 · -
Re: Charge Controller Sizing / Panel / Array wiring
I have two classic mppts and a morningstar pwm on 48v bank. The classics are master/slave, but the MS isn't. Each controller has its own array. Works fine.1 · -
Re: Mixing panels with different Vmp/Voc
Extreme cold plus windy in the morning is pretty rare, at least in my climate. Extreme cold tends to occur when a large high pressure area settles in, which generally brings little wind - it gets win…1 · -
Re: Differing readings from charge controller and inverter.
4ga is light for the inverter circuit and battery interconnects IMHO. 1500w ÷12v=125a (or more during voltage sags and load surges). Hopefully the wire is short, and has a properly sized, DC rated br…1 ·
