My coworker mentioned about the elevated water tank that can be released to run through a turbine of sort to generate energy if needed via kinetic motion of downward flowing water. I also was alerted that I could use the excess energy to use a motor that would pull up a rocks to a higher...

I'm in the Southeast portion of the US but it isn't as sunny as Florida gets. That's why I plan to set up to 32kW of solar panels. With the current 16kW set at 30 degrees, the PV Watts website shows I'll get about 22,497kW per year. Month Solar Radiation ( kWh / m2 / day ) AC Energy ( kWh...

The new sectional drawing based on your info is as below. Do you have any feedback as which T-fuse calculation is correct since I am using 2 6500W All in One's in split phase mode? I take it the busbar needs to be rated for more than the T-fuse value or it will melt the bar, right?

I badly miscalculated my total Ah's since I did forget that current in series are not additive. Thanks for the catch. This means I will need to have all 4 ready by the time I commission the system. It also means that I am way below what I would need to be completely off-grid since the...

Thank you for the compliment on how I've been doing my homework. It has been 2 years spent on planning and purchasing of the system components. I've managed to get the bulk of the expenses purchased (batteries and panels). I believe that to make the 48V LiFePo4 batteries, it would take 16 of...

Hello All, With some reading and some direct help from people from this forum, I believe I finally got my system planned layout to the point of execution. But before I do, I wanted to have some other eyes reviewing if I may have missed anything. I live in the USA and I suspect I will need to...

@John Frum or others. I wanted yours or others feedback based on the T-fuse calculation you mentioned on this post. "Example: 2000 ac watts / .85 conversion factor / 10 volts low cutoff = 235.294117647 service amps. 235.294117647 service amps / .8 fuse headroom = 294.117647059 fault amps."...

Perhaps I am just being overly worried but is just the growing tension between the USA and China going to increase the risk that an order placed to a China vendor will be prevented from being shipped or if so, take a lot longer to arrive? I am planning to proceed to purchase a large amount of...

I recently purchased from a neighbor a 2 year old used Polycrystalline 265W solar panels. He also sold to me his solar charge controller MPP Solar PIP-1012LV-MS/1000W Output/All in One Solar Inverter/Charger/Controller. Although I rather be using monocrystalline solar panels, I accidentally...
