What is your setup? In series or parallel?

Hi everybody, thanks for all your valuable advices for pv systems, I am living in Cyprus in the EU, we have 6h sunhine in the worst winter conditions and average 9h per year. So I am involved in an offgrid project and as you say I started doing the energy audit, got a sort of kill a watt and...

I think that I will try to build a system that can support my existing AC pump, the pump has the following characteristics, is not the best picture but it says pump needs, 0.3kwh, I am assuming has a surge of 0.6kwh so I will install 2 panels of 425w each, total 850w, an inverter probably a 12 V...

Hi, I am looking for a small no load charge inverter and found this one Giandel PS-1200JCR/24V, in the manual its stating that the 24V model is using 0.5A, that means 24V × 0.5A = 12W? Is this a good one?

I asked at DHL and they told me they I have to pay Vat of 19%.

Unfortunatly no Costco and no equivalent.

Hi, I have filled the spreadshhet provided at the resources for sizing the system, are my results reasonable? I am not sure the the solar array is correct, only 565 ? Also the Inverter seems too low. I wanted to ask a question about the hours of full sun, can I use the number that the...

I have a large generator on site that I want as a backup but I have found that only the all in one systems can accept this, are there are any inverters that can do that as well? By the way does any one know a European distributor for Axpert or MPP ?

But what about the AIO inverters feature that allows for charging and using the appliances, does this mean that using an AIO with this function will extend the life of the battery as it sould not be used during the day?

Emailed Trojan lets see.

Thanks to your help I am moving forward, I ordered today one Lifepo412V 100Ah SOK battery and a 12V 1000W Giandel inverter, I want to order as well a 40A Epever Scc however I have a doubt, I am ordering the USB comunication cable to be able to setup the battery properly, the question is do I...

It seems that there is a wise advise going around, try to get a big enough setup in the beggining so that it will be cheaper in the long run. I agree with it but I am finding a difficulty, the AIO systems that I can get so far, increate the size of the charge controler as they increase the...

I emailed US Batery, thanks

Thanks I contacted them but they dont ship to Cyprus.

Yes, again correcting it. Is it correct?

I am looking for a Dirty water dc 7m head submergible water pump about 800 GPH. Any suggestions?

Thanks, any brands I could use?

Could you please let me know any good options for the 100A for 12V MPPT standalone? And if possible a 1500W inverter that accepts generator? I agree I prefer to spend more now. No I have not finished with the design. Do you think the 3024 spends 40-50W allthough in their manual it specifies...

Ok, and I leave the rest as it is?

In order to keep my cost as low as possible and to keep it as simple as possible my design does not include buss bars, its only a 12v system with one 1200wh battery and a 1000w inverter with a 40a scc, however I am confused about the sok meter that I got, does the negative that goes to load have...

So with the zero load consumption of the MMP AiO we have a new budget: 2 Sok batteries 100ah 12 V 1260 Eur MPP PIP3024MSXE 24V. 60A SCC 3KW 605 Eur Sok battery meter 45 Eur 2 Jinkha panels 410W 460 Eur Wires 400 eur Total 2770 Eur

No special reason for SOKs, could you suggest any other Lithium batteries?

What are the appropiate values for sunny days to recharge under load, in the audit spreadsheet?

Hi, I am getting a super high reading in my scc and wanted to ask how does it make make sense, the system is one 410w panel, epever 40a scc mppt, 1 sok 12v 100ah battery, giandel 1000w 12v inverter. The scc is showing on a daily basis around 25kwh beign generated, if I am correct this is 25 000...

I understand, in that case what brand or model would you suggest?

Thanks, found a list of European suppliers (https://www.eaton.com/us/en-us/products/electrical-circuit-protection/fuses/electrical-iec-european-distributors.html) dropped a few emails maybe they sell retail.

The only Lifepo4 that I can source localy is brand Leoch that has a 0.5 C rate with 100% efficiency of charge, will this battery be ok beign charged at the (nominal) .33?

You are right my wording was off, actually the issue I see is not that the Scc is small but that the inverter power is too big, I cannot think of a combination that uses both to max. capacity, the Scc most probably yes but in winter with an array of 60A×24V=1440Wx3sh=4320Wh I cannot see how you...

Thanks, I have contacted the local Marine supplies but I think they dont have what I need.

I dont think I can afford 2 at the moment, I am planning for both Scc and Inverter to be Victron (bluesolar and phoenix) but I dont think they communicate directrly they need an extra device.
