I'm building a SHF system, and plan to store long term, inactive, non connected still in the boxes in faradays, (until, if needed) for an off grid situation.
This will be used to run essentials like freezers lights, etc. Some loads like freezers will be on timers for load shedding.
This is my first build so un sure about a LOT of it: ( If you have thoughts please let me know).
After weeks of research aligning with a budget of $5k or so, I may be wearing out! LOL
So far I have these numbers
Sun=5.22
Peak 6705w
8,441 total watts per day
253 Kw per month
I already have these components,,
17 ea. 100w Siemens solar cells.
Victron MPPT 12/24 100/50 charge controller
1 ea. Victron batt. monitor
I think the LAST main pieces needed are storage and inverters.
I'm thinking of adding to complete this build ;
4 ea. 12 v 100 ah LifeP04 Ampere from Amazon? (Approx.) $400 ea. = 400 Ah
2 ea. Giandel 24v pure sign wave 4000w inverters (Approx.) $650 ea.
I would appreciate advise as to whether this will work as I think or if their is an issue that will prevent this from operating as needed above.
I will likely install and run for a short time to verify then store.
One of my questions are long term storage of the Batt? Can I just charge and ignore for months or years?
Originally tried to get Nickel Iron batteries but unsure about sending $ to china directly. And can not find a source in the us.
THANKS for any help!!!!
