Hi All
Been try to decide on solar panel for a 6kw system in the uk.
Look for good efficiency may been over 20% good warranty but low to mid price range.
Was going to have battery backup 32 x 280ah cells with 100A BMS each string (16s 2P)
Been looking at Victron equipment vs Givenergy
Just...
Hi Mike
would it not be a good idea to try and insulate you home better first.
Yes this will cost up front but the savings long term could save you $$$$$$$
The coldest we have had is -10C (14F)
3S 4P would work
3x40.4v is 121.2v
4x10.6A is 42.4A
Would have to use 15A fuse in the combiner box for each parallel string
Want a 48v system with about 5kw in panels.
Would have to use 150V / 70A controller because it can take 4000w @ 48V
Was looking at these panel
Was going to do 4s 2p to a combiner box then 150v 60a charge controller
Not sure what size inverter next.
Possibly do double above to one inverter
Thought please
So been new to this looking to built a solar system using Victron products.
Just wanting to know what everybody’s thoughts are reliable value or expensive?
Cheers in advance
