Background
EPCOM solar panels 80 and 50 watts with 4 gauge photovoltaic connectors, installed vertically on an 11 foot tower, connected to 10 and 20 amp cfharge controllers, 3 600 amp hours sealed deep cycle batteries, 2 × 250 watt fuses, quick disconnection battery lugs, one 1500 watt with 2000 peak and one 2500 watt with 3500 peak watt modified sine wave inverters off grid, 4 gauge copper wire with weatherproof rubber protective coating, white brass electrical connectors with waterproof weatherproof protective covers, 20 amp electrical wire connectors, 3/8 inch copper terminal lugs, the wiring in the Direct Current segments paired with R5 insulated satellite cable hard wire because copper wire with hundreds of tiny filaments is limited by the resistance between each filament proportional to the equation for electrical output, an 30 watt electric low voltage charger, solar 10 volt trickle charger, and two 12 gauge weatherproof extension cords for bigger load capacity with less strain on the cords, in two 160 liter capacity Rubbermaid totes lined in the sides, top, and bottom with rigid weatherproof floatable foam exterior insulation on the ground in the center of the tower twenty feet from my home. The system charged fully in 2 hours of peak sunlight in dry outdoor conditions, operated any one appliance several hours, but did not charge adequately and reliably in rain, cloudy skies several days, and snow which is a powdery composition with a humidity level, especially in the prairies with wind in all directions that included moisture upwards through the ventilation holes in the handles, which caused rapid rust and malfunctions within the first season. The landlord for this lot did not want a tower and outdoor installation, but an indoor installation was permitted. I tried three 75 watt bright white heat lamps a few feet away but the surface of the panel distorted with ripples as in extreme weather, so had to find a source with the correct wavelength and intensity of lumens to prevent distortions and the damages by incorrect light on silicone substances as seen in a natural museum.
Current or Future Solar Power System
I installed a luminary with 10 Daylight LED 8 warrs equivalent to 40 watts and 5,000 lumens each in a globe shaped artificial light source to imitate the daylight wavelegth and lumens of normal sunlight one hour before and after peak. The solar panels were installed on a fireproof aluminum white metal siding hear bonded to a rigid foam two-inch layer and back metal siding on an interior wall The remainder of the installation used the same equipment and methods as in the original installation described in the background, and operated a mid range energy efficient chest freezer with capacity of 15 cubic feet 24 hours. I am expanding the system with a 60 watt solar panel for hot water heating o for power without water, 4 small flexible thin solar panels, 2 with a 30 watt charge controller each and 2 with a 40 watt charge controller each, a 4000 watt pure sine inverter for on or off the grid, and 6000 watt continuous and 12,000 watt peak modified sine wave inverter for 24 and 48 volt systems off grid. I think a 24 hour artificial light source of 50,000 lumens will compensate for the lack of the peak intensity iy9cicc natural sunlight.
