Hi All,
Posting from Queensland, Australia regarding general or specific advice for setting up a 48V off grid system using Nissan Leaf cells.
Background: I have access to 42 cells, believe they are 7.6V cells with a guessed capacity of 40Ah per cell. (Capacity test to be done in due course) I have recently purchased a large property with no services and my usage is likely to be 1-3kWh per day once the system in up and running. Like to be a bit higher as time goes on.
Could you help with the following questions?
Should I run 6 packs of 7 or 7 packs of 6 for a 48V system? i.e. Should I run a 45.6V or 53.2V setup? Thinking the 53.2V setup is the way to go.
What sort of distance can the solar array be from the battery bank?
What sort of distance can the battery bank be from the location it is been used?
What advice do you have regarding panel configuration and size?
What temperature do the cells need to be kept at? My climate is minimum 5C to maximum 37C (41F to 99F)
Believe the Watchmon 4 products are suited to this type of application. Any advice on inverter or other hardware required?
Feel free to provide any other general advice.
Cheers
JD
