Living off grid in the city, is living large(I hope).
Today I had the utility company literally cut the power. Turns out they have been over billing for years.
I have moved my previous system across country to enjoy off grid in the city.
Today's adventure.
I would like to hook the panels directly to the severed utility lines, but I just realized they are two 110v AC hots.
My reason for the post is the panels put out 39vdc and I would like to use the existing wiring to run the circuits as I need them with inverters and converters for the appropriate application.
First lighting is a priority. I have a successful food forest that reduces the temperature inside the property as well as the house, but it is a bit dark during the day.
I have an old Harbor freight system that came with the 12vdc lights. As I look on line they may be rated to 24vdv. My concern is my panels put our 39vdc. Are they compatible or will I fry them?
