Hello Everyone.
My name is Jeroen Pasman, I am new here on this forum. I am dutch and currently living in the Netherlands but ready to move to the Philippines and built my Off the grid house there. I have made a Facebook Page with all the info about the house that we are designing now and all that comes with it. So is the whole power supply and the solar off the grid system. I believe we are going to use a very minimal ammount of power but i like to do it right with some extra's for you knever know when.
So here is my idea for the setup :
For now i have the idea to use a 40 amp Controller, 24V max input voltage 150V at 24V max 1000 W .. i still need to see what kind of panels i can find there, but i can imagine 4 panels of 250 W at 35V , or 2 panels of 500W at 45 V. lets see whats available.
I want to limit the 230V devices as much as i can. We need to be able to power a small cooler/fridge. this is like a table model with 100 L cooling and 20 liter freezer. this kind of models will consume a 100kw a year. so this is 0.27kw a day. next to the cooler i need to be able to connect a laptop and aditional monitor. For now , we dont need more 230V devices. I will use a 24V 2000W inverter for this.
there 3 other diciplines that need power in the house. Lights , Fans and charger devices. I like to use this all on 12V. ist very easy to find LED light and Fans at 12V qnd als good usbC charge devices are avialable in 12V.
Now .. I want to run the whole solar power system on 24Volts. the Charger/ Controller and the Inverter need to be running on 24 V. The distibution of all my 12V needs will run on 24V and just before i need the 12V i will use step down devices to bring it back to 12V. This way i can use thinner cable and less voltage loss in longer lengths.
the 12V devices will be seperated in "groups"
I will have a living room light group of 20W 12V // a bedroom light group of 15w 12v // a bathroom toilet light group of 15W 12V // kitchen light group of 20W.
than the fans in the house take care of a decent airflow , 1 group for the toilet and shower at 15W 12V // 1 kitchen group at 20W 12 V and than the main system that will use 30W at 12V.
Offcouse this will not be used all at the same time. but the main air flow system will run constantly. (instead of an aircon).
All these 12V groups will be powered by a 24V cable and steepd down to 12Volt at the destination.
Last thing i need to add is that i want to add a storm wind turbine to the system as well. When the typhoons hit, i wont be able to catch some sunrays, but plenty of wind during these moments. This is something i need to look into and see what is a save way to do.
Now for me the mail question would be , how manny 24V batteries should i use with what amp and what type would you advise ?
I attached my drawings and ideas.
Please feel free to correct my drawings , advise me in any way.
Looking forward for your replies.
Jeroen.
