What if you wanted to run your house completely off grid with solar panels and batteries.
How many solar batteries to run a house.
In summer it can runs on thoselittle capacity batteries but.
Add distilled water to your batteries once a month.
Multibusbar for each and have 2400 w offgrid solar charger mppt.
For example a 400 amp hour battery can supply 4 amperes of current for 100 hours.
The a c run can be run a long ways with little resistance.
You can assume the sun gives 1000 watts per square meter with a solar.
Of course multiple batteries and inverters can address these energy and power limitations.
How big would the solar panels be.
I have 6 pv panels 280 w 30v monocrys.
Batteries are designed to produce a specific voltage and they are rated for a certain number of amp hours.
I ran 2 refrigerators on it about 1 5 a for each at 220v mains here in iraq but used 4 batteries in series to give 48 v with only 17ah battery.
There is a lot of energy loss in dc wires vs a c maybe a 40 ft wire run from the solar panels to the controller and batteries you bay loose up to 30 of your energy in resistance in the wiring.
So keep your d c run and batteries together.
Second battery backup inverters are not powerful enough to start and run many large appliances.
What is the minimum ah of each battery should i use please.
Hi guys glad i found you i live off grid and mainly use wind turbines and generators i currently have 2 banks of 350ah 12v batteries then run from turbine shed to house via inverter im now looking into solar panels how many panels would i need to keep them topped up.
The lithium batteries we use are purpose built for off grid solar and utilize a special lithium chemistry called lithium ferro phosphate lifepo4 commonly called lfp.
