Hello All,
I signed up because I'm looking for help in lieu of leaf cleanup season. Trying to get all the equipment ordered this week so my mobile mechanic can start setting everything up next weekend. What would be the recommended battery (100 AH server rack?) and inverter (do I need a hybrid unit?) for the following.
I sent the following to Signature Solar earlier today (no response yet):
I am trying to figure out what the best setup would be for my lawn care setup. I will be mounting and installing everything in my extended Chevy Express. I am planning on mounting most of everything on the van's partition/cage (solid, no perforations/openings), including battery chargers. I will have a small section of wooden panel left for anything additional.
Looking at running battery chargers for EGO equipment under 3000 watts. I will be getting a 32" Greenworks Commercial Stand-On unit next year, which is an 8KWh unit.
I plan to run the full setup: solar, DC-DC charging (connecting to van's alternator) and shore line power (for direct power charging).
I need two options (inverter, 48v battery, panels and all equipment needed for routing):
- One for just charging batteries, under 3K watts. I am guessing that the 6.5 EG4 inverter or 6K Growatt would be ideal.
- One for if I decide to charge the large mower. I am guessing the 12K Growatt inverter would be ideal (when will you have this in stock again?)
I need to make a purchasing decision this week, as I am planning for an install next weekend with my mobile mechanic, in preparation for fall cleanup season. If I could get some advice today, that would be GREAT! Need to pass everything to my mobile mechanic.
P.S. I often fully load up my van with brush/plant material after doing property cleanups of overgrown properties. Cargo bay will be fully sealed off (the partition is solid, not perforated). I want to make sure that there will be no issues with overheating or anything. Van will be parked in the open sun.
