I purchased the
Hyundai 305W Half-Cell Monofacial Solar Panel (Black) | HiA-S305HG
in a 10 pack on Signature Solar. Was a great deal! $105 bucks, now they are $88 bucks a piece! Unbelievable!
I'm using 4 right now for my Mini Split, 2 for my Pecron with 4 left over.
I don't think I can add...
Why I built my emergency backup Solar System paid off.
Back on April 1st my Town in New Jersey experienced a rare Tornado. I was in my attached garage at the time. It sounded like a commuter plane had broken the sky and coming down... you know that sound. Then battering winds and crashing as...
So, I finally jumped onto the Lithium band wagon after finding Will on Utube. As he stares many times unlike Lead acid batteries that can only use 50% of their capacity... Lithium Batteries can use 100% of their capacity.
In reality Lithium batteries cannot go below 20% or they will be...
SO, Ive had my new set up now for over a year. 200AH LifePo4 battery, Overkill BMS, Victron 100/20 and 200Watts of Solar in Parallel
running fine but wanted more solar to charge while I'm using power during the day.
I decided to add 2 more 100w panels and ran 4 in Series/Parallel to get 32v @...
I am getting ready to move my test rack up to permanent roof mounting and came across these TIGO DC Optimizers.
I'll be using 4 - 305w Hyundia Panels. With the Optimizers and Cloud Connect device it will be about $500.
Pretty pricey considering I only spent $107 bucks a piece for these panels...
So, how to deal with 12v loads when LITHIUM Battery voltage can theoretically go up to 14.6 volts?
I like to use as much straight 12v things as possible, I'm sure lights and Fans would run over 14v,
but most likely be brighter and faster and have shorter life.
I used to use a DROK step...
