@TryMeFoolYT 9 месяцев назад

how long would an 5000 btu house air conditioner run? or maybe a 12v? ima truck driver my truck has a 12v system for ac but 4 batteries is not enough for the heat. thanks if you can help me.

@BeatTheBush 9 месяцев назад

5000btu uses about 500W full on, meaning if it runs at maximum like when it is very hot outside. Then a 2500Wh battery when fully charged will run it for 5 hours. If it's more mild, you might only use half the energy and it will last 10 hours.

@markb1911 Месяц назад

This is the most explanatory solar/battery introductory video i’ve seen so far, regarding having all the necessary information to understand how the system is working, important info about usage of the system, and best practices. Things like the lifepo4 charge-curve are important to know when monitoring a system by reading voltages manually during charging and use to better know the true state of charge, and the characteristics of the battery under load. This is a good resource. Great video.

Thanks for this video. Built system with your replacement Eco-worthy 3000w charger/inverter and two Eco-worthy 12.8v 280AH LiFePO4 batteries. Very straightforward build and list of part was of immense help. All working really well as backup with plans to move a circuit or two from main panel to this (two 200w 18v solar panels in series). It would be helpful to someone wanting to do this to show your inverter parameters. Hard to find what to program in and Eco-worthy is difficult to get info out of. I just used the LifePO4 battery type with 8 strings for my 12.8v batteries.

@tomr6955 7 месяцев назад

I made (yes made) my own panels about 12 years ago from B grade cells. I constructed 2 panels and had them charge a 12v truck battery, from which I ran the washing machine, 12v lights in the house and more. Mind you, I was only very young and renting a cheap house (lol). Anyway, what I've learned is I think it's most efficient to push any power from solar panels into a hot water heater or something like that.

@napzero 2 месяца назад

First, props to you making your own panels. That takes dedication. Second, I’m not sure where you’re coming from on the water heater thing. Resistive heating is not the most efficient way to heat. Heat pumps are usually far more efficient. Also, I don’t know for sure, but thermal solar panels may get you more heat than using photovoltaic panels, based simply on the fact that any time you convert energy, there are losses, so a straight heading panel would be less conversion than light>electricity>heat.

It's been running 10 months Running 80% of my house daily Just got to purchase bigger Solar panels, and the extra information on the battery charging was most helpful as I charge at 20a which now i know it the correct amount But I always fully charge the batteries in General they use 30% daily then fully charge to 100% Now I'm going to change it

@BeatTheBush 4 месяца назад

If you want to get extra life out of them and you only use 30% and not mind having less reserve capacity, charge to only 80%. The top 20% and lower 20% degrades the battery most.

I went the solar station route because I do not understand electricity enough to be comfortable with it on my own. I bought 2 pecron stations each for $855 a piece total of $1710. That gives me 2 2000watt inverters and 2 1980 lifepo4 battery's for 3960 total battery storage. I want to build a system like yours as well because I just got to. Thank you for your explanation of best practices on charging and discharging these battery's because most YT channels make it like just charge to 100% and discharge to zero which never seemed wise to me. Everything in the video was educational well done!

@maddhatter3564 8 месяцев назад

@BigFarm_ah365 6 месяцев назад

Excellent video. They also have rate plans that have peak metering where I live, if you can store energy and not use any during high-demand hours rates are very low so they can balance loads.

@robertsmith2956 7 месяцев назад

set up a separate small system for climate control of the batteries. Never hurts for them to have a space heater, and window ac to keep them happy. If nothing else use the power to drive the solar tracking system, and get those last pesky electrons hiding in the shadows. 😎 I wired my house into 6 zones so I could bring each area online one at a time. ROI is less than 2 years that way. and you roll the savings back into the system. A side benefit, is EOL is staggered as well, so no big hammer at the end, just continue the pay it forward. solar bank one gets to old, replace it, not entire systems panels all at once. Same with batteries and inverters. and if a failure happens, you can decide what area gets the outage, and keep the critical system active just moving a power cable. I have my emergency lighting, and alarms on a separate system with no inverter at all, straight DC. I put the LED cabinet lighting in the kitchen on it, so it does get used between disasters. It is tucked away in my storm shelter.

The content in clarity, explanation and continuity (no pun intended) was very well thought out and offered.

I’ve upgraded this from a 24V system to a 48v 20kWh system, soon it may power the entire house.

I have a very similar system. It feeds my bedroom off grid. Its great because even if the power goes out i can still function in my beadroom. I have 1.2kw solar and 3.5kw inverter. Also running 24v. I don't know if it actually saves me much power, but its nice to not worry about any power outages. Yes the cost of all the breakers and wires add up. I mounted mine on a board on the wall the same way. Its right near the breaker box. I disconnected the wire from the braker running to my room and connected it to this system instead. That way i didn't need to run extension chords, just use existing outlets.

1.2kW solar, you like are making around 5kWh/day. If you use all of that and the battery never tops out, at $0.33/kWh, that's $1.65/day so from that you can check your break even point.
