I would like some help to maker sure I have this setup worked out correctly.
Use Case: This is being built for fun and to see if a large renewable system could be used to provide a substantial upgrade to our energy needs. So really a test bed to learn the ropes.
My setup is shown below.
But a few specific questions:
1. My PV cables will be solar PV cable 10AWG, is this OK?
2. For battery and connections from controllers I was going to use 6AWG wire is this good or overkill?
3. Is the DC disconnect OK, I am confused some folks say a breaker and some say a disconnect switch?
4. Do I have the right size fuses between the SCC and the battery bank? I read it should match the SCC amperage so I went with 40A. And is the 175A between the bank and inverter the right size?
5. I think I have the turbine right but any suggestions? Not sure why you don't need a disconnect or breaker?
Any how thanks in advance.
