Wanted to show you guys my "Off Grid Solar Power System". It is just running my office for now This is a 300 watt system. I have a Samlex 300w "PURE SINE WAVE Inverter" 12v! With a EP Solar charge controller "MPPT" Tracer series 12v/260w max PV Input Power. My Canadian Solar Panel is 260w.The batteries are two 6v Deep Cycle Trojan Batteries in "Series to make a 12v Battery". Renewable Energy is here to stay! Off Grid & Self Sufficient!

I love the jealousy in his voice when he sais Canada lol
-
question can a car alternator be install to have battery charge faster like take belt. add to rotating fan motor and turn the alternator
-
please a simple paper drawn diagram can go far, so do a simple drawing video with all the numbers (high&low) and freeze it in front the cam, good work thanks
-
is that pure sine inverter or not? thx
-
Im playing around but would love to know has your solar system grown?
-
nothing is free.... battery doesnt last forever...and it uses metal... metal being corroded... metal is unrenewable... to harvest metal will need oil...
-
how long does the battery last?
-
That panel is way to much potential difference for your 12 volt batteries you need to work on your balance of system those batteries aint gonna be around long.
-
I hate to be the one to tell you but your "MPPT" controller is only a MPPT by name. That make/model is a PWM. Now, your entire system is 12V so no need to worry about it.

Everybody who can go solar, should go solar. It's good to put an air gap between your batteries for cooling. Batteries, charge controllers and inverters need to be sized according to your load or current draw. The size and number of solar panels can be lower or even much lower, it's just that it will take longer for the batteries to recharge so that the charge controller can restore the LOAD. Inverters waste electricity. It's more efficient to have devices that run off 12V directly, but that's not easy to accomplish. Some people wire their inverters directly to the batteries which is OK, provided the Inverter has it's own battery protection circuit and shuts off when the supply voltage drops below about 11.8 V. This allows you to draw more current from the batteries than what your charge controller is rated for. Of course, you don't want your array of solar panels to be feeding more amps than the controller is rated for either. The point is that if you only have a single 100W panel supplying about 6 amps, you can still use a 30A or much bigger controller and inverter especially if you have a big bank of batteries and want to hook up a high draw appliance like a table saw or something that you only use occasionally. This will suck the batteries down quickly and the solar may need multiple days to recharge the batteries. This is not a very balanced system and the batteries will probably not last as long, but it is workable.

ur inverter does not need to be closely matched to your panel watt size.
-
How. much $$$ spent on all solar panels and accessories equipments?
-
Nice set up I hear alot of people say decide what u need befor you start so u dont waste money on 2 or 3 diff items that u have to up grade later.Im maken a small portable 1 and a medium set up for house use.Good Video help full to me.

you do not need to limit the size of your inverter to the amp hour capacity of your bank... it's perfectly fine to use a 1500 or 2000 watt inverter with a 12 volt 225 AH bank..
-
If every American household had solar the world would not have any wars for oil!

Thank you. Quick question: If a 6V btty is 225AH, does it change (get cut in half) if you wire it to be 12V?
