Hello Guys.
I like to build a battery backup made out of 8 EVE 280Ah cells I have ordered the batteries already ,
I will have the batteries and all the electronics placed in the closet next to the living room the solar panels will be placed at the balcony it is a long balcony so i was thinking 2 panel at each end or depends how much I need to keep the batteries full , im in the renovation of this apt so i will able to run a 8 AWG cable (20 feet) or whatever AWG I need in the ceiling from the balcony to the closet to carry the power across also was thinking to use a 1" aluminum conduit for the cable for safety if need.
My initial idea was to build a 24V battery bank so I thought I buy (I did) 8 of EVE 3.2v cells in series will make 25.6V but now I am thinking maybe I could connect the 4 in series so i have two sets of 12 volt and that connect them in parallel to get the 24V what is the best way to get the most out of them??
What I like to power with this batteries if the power goes out power the fridge I will have a wire to the fridge just from the inverter in case I need . would i be able to run it permanently from the batteries ?
Run a wire to the living room behind the the TV and power my TV and stereo system permanently.?
And run the led lights i have installed upstairs in the bedrooms permanently or temporary?
Is this enough battery how much do i need?
My balcony is facing south so i have a lot of sun exposure all day long (I am in Florida)
But because of the management I don't or can't fill my balcony with solar panels for obvious reasons but i would get away with 4 I think....
Alot of questions...
Any advice would be appreciated!!
Thank you
John
