Hello,
I've just mounted my solar panels and I'd very much appreciate someone to spend a couple of minutes to check if my results are to be expected.....
Here's the spec:
Solar self build Generator Spec:
300Ah LifeP04 battery, max continuous charge rate 150A <
150v/70-Tr Victron SmartSolar charge controller ( settings checked, look good )
12v/1200W Victron Phoenix Inverter VE.Direct
All appear to be working fine.
Solar array spec:
Panels x 6 mounted as 3 series x 2 Parallel, mounted 3 facing east and the other 3 facing west, there is no shading at any time, however obviously the sun does move from one side to the other during the day.
Each panel spec:
Panel Rating: 330w
IMP: 10.2A
Vmp: 32.6
ISc: 10.9A
Voc: 39.12
Panel Cable used:
6mm 1800v ( 10AWG ) PV cable to wire array. (I believe its max capacity is 30A)
LOCATION: Bridgwater Somerset
I have taken the battery down to a low leve
l so as to do a full days charge,
The KS energy Uk image below shows a snapshot of charging at 1.00pm today.
The smartsolar image below shows the charge results for a whole day. the weather was mostly cloudy, with a little hazy sunshine now and then.
Also yesterday complete charge cycle, it was again mostly cloudy with a little light rain. please ignore the 2 and 3 day value.
QUESTION: Are these the results I should expect and everything is working as expected for this time of year?, or should I be seeing significantly more Watts ? Amps ? or Volts?
Do you see a rookie mistake screaming at you?
Thank you for taking your precious time.
kind regards
Steve
