WTF is your problem? I had much more important business to attend to than replying to the thread I had started. Life occasionally takes turns. Covid fell upon me and my family. Sorry I didn't respond to your advice. But shaming someone because you felt ignored? Come on! Grow up.

I was hoping to run it totally off grid. I would expect to run it for 2 hours at a time (2 on 1 off) during daylight hours. But after reviewing the comments here I think the best course of action is to change out my compressor for a much more efficient one and go from there.

The compressor provides 200psi at 80cfm... I've had no issues. I'm trying to eliminate costs though and be fossil fuel free... switching to a gas powered machine doesn't fit those interests

Yes. I can see I was overly optimistic. I'm looking into upgrading my compressor. I want to go off grid with this. If upgrading my equipment to more efficient machinery is needed then so be it.

I'm building out a 20 foot shipping container to act as a large sandblasting cabinet. I'd like to power a huge 3 phase 240v 29a 10hp air compressor with solar. What would be the bare necessities for such a solar draw? Any knowledge shared would be appreciated. Thank You

The panels are 12v. I will be running them in a series instead of parallel to get the 24v. Or would you recommend something different? I will add these to the list. Sounds like I'd need a larger charger control, or should I split the battery bank into two and use two charge controllers? Or...

Maybe. Depends on if my family all catches Covid again.

See... no one agrees and thus newbie confusion is inevitable.

I did. But did I understand it is the more appropriate question.

It has a windows for light.

Yeah... I'm looking into a newer, more efficient air compressor to rethink this all with.

I'm going to change out my air compressor for something more efficient and will rethink this from that compressors need. Thanks for the input. I already have 20+ 350w panels and 15+ 85ah Duralast batteries. It's a start. Not the greatest batteries, I know, but they will work for something right?

I do have twenty 350w panels and 15 85ah 12v batteries. None of it is connected yet. Not sure if the batteries can even be used for a decent solar system. Since I have them I'd like to use them. I want to move my sandblasting container away from my home and into a remote corner of my property...

I don't want to shock myself or blow anything up so I'm here to get confirmarion on my equipment along with a little advice. I'm powering a 20 foot shipping container with a 5000w 24v pure sine wave converter. I plan to parallel six 350w panels on the roof (although I have room for 4...
