Ok guys so my system currently stands at a 310w eging solar panel with a pure sine wave inverter by giandel 600w continuous. Has a neat control button for in the cab. I'm about to put in a very basic mppt charger model number cpy2410 but otherwise maybe an extra battery?
Currently on a calcium lead battery and I'm seeing around 14.6v when charging and when the battery seems full it stands at around 13.2v according to charge controller. I've left it an hour or so and seem the same voltage but it drops to around 13.8 when I turn on the power within half hour or so then slowly goes down
Seems to give me a day and a half running a 230v fridge at 0.5a and some 15w wifi leds at I believe 3a for 8 hours to simulate a tv and say 4 hours of led lights?
This test was on a indecisive sky of clouds day and from starting my test at 8pm my battery was showing 12v and I had experienced my first inverter low voltage disconnect. Comes up as a fault on the panel but you can reset and have power again at this point but I ended the test and let the battery charge again.
The aim is to get the system to at least cover a bank holiday weekend which is either the friday or the monday where most places randomly shut for the day aswell as there usual hours over the weekend may alter. Most people go away for these bank holidays in the uk.
Maybe even just being out in the open and not having the buildings in my street blocking the panel would perhaps make the difference?
Some nice pics here to show it as it stands....
I need to box in the wires and install my cupboard fascia after I've finished staining the sides. And I've just learned something new..... I accidentally made a signal blocking caravan. Uploads got seriously slowed down as I climbed in to take the last picture... happy days ?
