Re: Offgrid solar project
Modern Meanwell AC to DC converter are a bad way for this application, I read 0,54A without any charge, and after one hour, the side become warm. about 35 to 40°C with 20°C ambiant temp. Fans always on. I send it back to store. I trying now with 600VA toroïdal transformer. I can plug and unplug to n...

Re: Offgrid solar project
Yes, actually, the circuits are made so :
3 phases that arrived
each phase go on one 10A light circuit that powered 8x10A light circuit.
each phase go on one 16A circuit that powered 16x16A circuits for plugs and other devices.
The 3 phases are equalized.

Re: Offgrid solar project
Just one 48VDC line where all solar current are added. The independent inverters or parallel inverters, is more to be free to change one by other without staying in the same model, in 5 or 10 years, i'm not sure to find a compatible model that work with other. The grid stay so it's never a problem t...

Re: Offgrid solar project
The loads specs are always show, but it's not the normally usage of inverter, generally 1 to 10% load is a normal usage of 90% of time. 3 x 5kVA inverters in parallel take 150w to show time on oven in kitchen ! Is standby mode compatible with electronics devices ? For lights and resistiv charge is o...

Re: Offgrid solar project
That's a maximum power capacity, I've never use the 12kW that grid permit. Many possibility for inverters, independant on 2 or 3 output lines or working in parallel on same line. How are working 3 inverters in parallel ? For 300W, each give 100W or one give 300 and 2 are on standby ? I finally take ...

Re: Offgrid solar project
If the working voltage must be change, I prefer go with upper voltage than a lover voltage to not increase current and reduce the size on cable.

Re: Offgrid solar project
Hi, I have now the 32 solar panel, each 310W. I try now to first regulate each panel at 28-29VDC, so i can have 16 strings of 2 panel, or one of 16// + 16//. The max power that regulator dissipate is from 0 to 35W, depending of solar power, current, panel temp. At 10A, voltage isn't very higher 28-2...

Re: Offgrid solar project
Resistor directly on solar panel won't run correctly.
I have in past a water heater 2000W/230VAC with 26 ohm resistor, connected on 160V/6,5A string solar panel.
At 6A, it's work fine, i receive 1kw.
Little less sun, at 5A, it's fall to 650W
At 4A, around 400W
At 3A, 230W
2A, 100W, 1A, 26W.

Re: Offgrid solar project
Making a regulator with a darlington power transistor and a resistor in serial with zener is not a problem, power dissipation must be see in practice. With that, the Ampere output still the same, only voltage is reduced. If power is not enough to answer, voltage fall down to the AC/DC converter leve...

Re: Offgrid solar project
Hi, I try to not thinking the system as a on grid system. Here, the max solar power is not the max usable power, but is here to cover more days of the year. If all panel are under full sun on summer, my water is hot, I don't need warming, maybe a clim, fridge, computer, just need in continuous 1 or ...

Re: Offgrid solar project
It's a good way. But how can I know how many unused solar power is available ? And is solar MPPT price correct vs more solar panel with simple PWM or just one transistor that absorb the excessive power on each panel, it's like a pig, but we speaking from "free" power. Studer make very good devices, ...

Re: Offgrid solar project
You can see a first plan on what i want to do on attached file. Diodes can only routing DC current. I already have my old Studer 3548SI inverter, that is just an inverter without charger. I use it before connected on grid. Solar in France is just a big joke, i have many offer for 6kwc with a wooden ...

Hi, I have a project of photovoltaic installation in France. Without complicated authorisation, we can't send current on grid, on heart we can not do the same thing than on house, very complicated. I have a tri phased 12KVA counter at home, but 9KVA is enought on a monophased installation. I think t...

Re: PIP-5048GE, PIP-5048GK and PIP-5048MG inverters (with unsafe SCC)
Thank you for answer, the 5048MG is not the best for reduce the bill. 5048MK appear to be more appropriate. I don't see on specs if is it possible to use it without battery. The circuit breaker on counter is a 12kW tri, so if i load more than 5kW on inverter, the circuit breaker don't like to switch...
