Sorry for the absence.
I’m taking a slight turn in my thinking.
The current plan is to maximize the existing panels (and get the system up) then expand. So just the panels and inverter for now. (No batteries) The panels will generate about 5k. We will be connected to the grid yet no selling...
I’m actually based in the us and travel to Baja. We fly small planes and do free dental medical clinics. I can source the gear here and import it when we travel south. I will see what is available in La Paz. The dollar is pretty weak against the peso right now so may make sense to just but...
Good question.
Even at a discounted rate when you run 7-9 mini splits for two days (typical clinic) it adds up fast.
You’re a pretty good lick beyond San Felipe. We fly that coast all the time. This facility is in Constitución mid peninsula past Loreto.
Thanks a mil for the input/education
The primary objective is to use the existing panels to offset as much energy cost durning the day. Southern Baja is super hot, so they get lots of sunshine and need lots of AC. The CC is rarely used at night.
The net zero concept is exactly what I’m...
1. Not sure
2. Building is permitted. They made her have two meters. One for clinic, second for apartment upstairs (different rates)
3. She was told no selling power back, yet I know it’s done in Northern Baja.
4. All the gear is over 18 months old. Unlikely able to return. Could sell as...
Please check me on this example:
The Sol arc 15kw inverter accepts 26 amps per mppt, 425 volts.
Panels are 250 watt, 8.85 amps, 37 volts.
2 arrays - 5 in series/2 parallel =20 panels
Total output
5000 watts, 188 volts, 35 amps +-
The panels are currently sitting in the sun on the roof, not connected to anything. From what I understand grid tie (feedback) is not allowed on this installation yet I know it’s allowed in mexico so that a discussion down the road.
Day to day probably 10-25 amps 240volts. If there are classes or other activities it could spike to 50-70 amp with multiple a/c units running.
I’ll look at Victorn, she’s on a bit of a budget. I assume then I’d need a charging solution if the Victron isn’t an all in one? If the delta isn’t...
Greetings,
I’m looking for recommendations on putting together a somewhat large, scalable Solar system
1. This is a privately owned community center in Baja Sur
2. They have grid power
3. Currently have 20+ 250 watt panels on the roof
4. They bought 2 pow 120 volt, 3000 watt, 24 dc volt...
