After recently watching multiple videos produced by Will Prowse on solar battery voltage balancing and capacity testing for DIY batteries using LIFEPO4? cells, I am intrigued with the potential to build a cost effective solar power system including integrated solar PV and PV-T panels to optimize solar power efficiencies and associated costs including a generator back up for off-grid/zero-net energy homes. This allows for using as much as 90% of solar energy while optimizing solar panel production efficiencies in contrast to 20%-25% energy efficiency of cost effective solar panels.
I am also intrigued with SUNDRUM'S PV-T Harvester Technology integrated with heat pumps to provide HVAC for super insulated ICF homes using concrete as a latent energy form of energy storage including integration of two stage radiant energy heating, cooling and ventilation using fan coils to eliminate condensation and provide a year round conditioned environment for solar batteries to optimize life cycles.
For many of us novices in battery technologies which are constantly changing and improving in technology and pricing, could solar battery cell balancing and capacity testing be economically integrated into a DIY 48V series battery system for motorhomes and super insulated ZNE homes that only require 2kw-5kw solar power systems? It appears that capability in conjunction with blue tooth monitoring and routine maintenance of battery cells could optimize life cycle.
Could a 48 V series battery bank be built to provide 72 hrs of back up power for ZNE homes and charging EVs? What would be the ideal trade off for size of battery bank and integration of a backup generator using natural gas or gas/diesel? I would prefer to use solar battery banks for ZNE homes.
I am very impressed with the Fortune LiFePO4 cells that Will recently show-cased and tested on You-Tube. Yet I see Will currently has SOK 12V batteries posted on his web-site.
