However I have 6 series-strings of batteries all in parallel, so only one sixth of the maximum will flow through any one string as the strings share the load. Ohms Law)įirst, we know that in my example there may be up to 175 amps pulled from the battery bank (worst case scenario). I will assume you have that basic understanding… (e.g. This involves some basic understanding of series-parallel wiring and how it affects volts and amps. You will need to determine how many amps will flow through interconnecting cables of the battery bank. Gives me great control over balancing seasonal load differences and PV system variances due to weather and seasons. My Reliance Controls A510C transfer switches shown below. It makes the system entirely 100% flexible for balancing loads and demands throughout the year. I’ve installed two (Reliance Controls) 10-circuit transfer switch boxes for 20 circuits from my mains panel. I have integrated the ability to balance (select) my individual loads to be sourced from either ‘grid’ or ‘solar/batteries/inverter’. Unless your system is enormous (and enormously expensive) you will have to keep an eye on things anyway… My electrical needs are low to begin with, but I do have to watch it and reduce loads especially during the Fall and Winter months. This, combined with almost 4,000 watts of PV panels has been enough to supply basic power and essential systems energy needs within my modest home. That said, my rule of thumb is to avoid draining more than 30% off the top for lead acid batteries…so that gives me just about 10 KwH to play with. That’s a total capacity of 28.8 KwH, although 14.4 KwH is safely usable (50% max).
48 volts solar battery series#
There are 6 series strings (of 4 each) that are all connected in parallel to comprise a battery bank of 48 volts 600 AH. However I will cite my own current configuration as an example: My System as an example…Īll 24 batteries are 12 volt 100 AH rated. I’m not going to get into recommendations for series-parallel battery wiring (another article). The batteries will serve as a energy storage center to deliver power during periods when the solar panels themselves are either in the dark or under-delivering due to weather conditions. The batteries will be connected together in various series-parallel configurations depending on your schematic design to achieve a desired voltage and capacity to work best with the inverter (and charger). A battery bank for an Off-Grid solar powered alternative energy system will consist of a number of batteries and their interconnecting terminal cables.
