G'day All from Down Under!
Have taken the plunge to go Solar on our small 5 acre patch. Have mains connected - 240v single and 415v 3 phase.
Wishing to power our home and a second smaller dwelling. We use atm 17 to 20 kW/day
Need to run the usual host of appliances, as well as our household water pump.
Air con ... maybe. It was 101 deg today and will be near that the next week or so.
I am prepared to leave mains connected for the ($350/yr connection cost) convenience eg charging batteries if needed / workshop machinery.
Have secured 24 x SunGEL Ultra carbon batteries (2SGU specs at batteryenergy.com.au/products/sungel-ultra/technical-overview
Also 60 new 415w PV panels.
QUESTION 1 : Setup as 24v or 48v? I am getting so many contradictory answers / reasons
Q 2 : How big an inverter / s
More info needed? I will see what I can do
Hoping to get things a little clearer in my mind!
Thankyou in advance.
John
