This is the future of AC. So much more cost effective than dealing with batteries, mptt controller, and inverter. Instant solar to the biggest power consumer in the house. Definitely going to set one of these up in Florida.
I have 100W + 80W solar panels on my small summer house feeding a 100Ah battery. Through a 1000W inverter I can run my heat pump in AC mode to keep down the temperature in the afternoon. The heat pump will just draw 200-300W to lower the temperature a few degrees.
Hey Rayon, very nice video, very informative! I'm also looking to import these units to the island of Curacao, could I private message you regarding this?
How is the maximum DC input is 2500 W and you have installed almost 2000 W but the monocrystalline have efficiency of 20% so the input power would be 400W which would not power the A/C. Am I mistaken?
The 18000 btu mini split needs 1500 Watts DC from solar panels. These 6 panels after setup were producing 1700+ Watts @4:14 you will see the DC power coming in from the Solar panels while using the app. This was a cloudy day. If a solar panel has 20% efficiency, this means it is able to convert 20% of the sunshine hitting it into electricity.
@@mokhasolar if you're asking why am I not getting 1600W, you're not going to get the exact amount. The panels are rated to produce a certain amount of power, therefore you will receive "up to" that amount. If you're asking based on the thought that panels are 20% efficient. Bear in mind that it's NOT 20% of the 1600W but rather 20% of the sunlight is being absorbed by the Solar Array making it able to produce "up to" 1600W. Hope that helps
@@mokhasolar @2:08 the voltage coming in from the array was 225v DC. The current/amps that the 18000 btu draws is about 5.5Amps at that time making the power - 225V × 5.5A = 1237.5W
