After selecting the type of system (choose "off-grid") and your latitude, enter the values for installed peak PV power (in Wp), battery capacity (in Wh), discharge cutoff limit (in %), energy consumption (in Wh), the inclination angle of slope (in degrees) and azimuth (in degrees, the position of the PV panel relative to the direction due South). The optimal angle of a solar panel depends on the season and the location. In a direct solar system, sizing the solar panel is not difficult. While the electrical and communication layers support both hot plug and hot removal, check that your drive controller, operating system, and drivers support them. When sizing a solar panel for a direct solar system, you only have to look at power production. 72 Ah battery to compensate for three days of no power production. You get a daily energy production estimate for all the months in the year.

In both cases, get the right "size" of cables, fuses, connectors, and switches. Pick the right "size" of solar charge controller in a battery storage solar system. You are not discharging the lead-acid battery below 50%, so the solar panel only needs to charge 50% (or less) of the storage capacity. Lead-acid batteries should not drop below 50% of their maximum capacity, and for lithium-ion, that’s 15%. If you need 120 watt-hours of storage capacity, you thus need a 240 watt-hours lead-acid battery (or a 138 Wh lithium-ion battery). 24) battery storage capacity. The cheapest DC-DC converters only take 2A to 5A, while the lowest-cost solar charge controllers take a maximum of 5A. Charge controllers and DC-DC converters get more expensive as their current capacity increases. In contrast, a 20 watt solar panel working at half its capacity would need 14,4 hours, which won’t happen. In the example above, a 50 watt solar panel working at half of its output (25W) will produce 144 watt-hours in less than 6 hours, which sounds like it could fully charge a battery in the place where I live.

For example, fully charging a 288 watt-hour battery requires the solar panel to supply 144 watt-hours. Other DC-DC converters need a precise voltage input, so they can only be connected to a stable voltage source, for example, a 12V battery. For example, if your solar panel produces 3A of current, you need a DC-DC converter or solar charge controller that withstands at least 3A of current. However, equally important is that both components can withstand the amount of current (A) that flows through them. You need to dimension all the components of a solar installation correctly to work together. A solution is to wire all components with a relatively large diameter cable, such as 20AWG (maximum 11A) or 18AWG (max 16A). Choosing a thicker wire allows you to extend your solar installation later without upgrading the cables. A cheap solution is to reuse electric cables from discarded main appliances, which you can cut open to expose the positive and negative wires.

Turns out both the prodigious amount hot glue that I'd used to secure the wires and the plastic casing around the USB cables were conspiring together to ruin my day. Therefore, you may need thicker wires and heavier fuses between the battery and the device. However, you need enough space for the extra solar panel surface, which may not always be available. At a minimum, what is control cable it has to be large enough to fully charge the battery during clear weather on the shortest day of the year. However, it will not keep the lights working in the evenings if the weather during the day is working against you. However, solar panels rarely reach their maximum power production, so you should oversize the solar panel a bit. If you live in an area where clouds are common, you better size the solar panel to fully charge the battery with a moderate cloud cover. Even if want to use WiFi, I'd suggest using Ethernet to keep things simple until all of your devices are fully configured. I did nearly end up using DMX for my under-cabinet lighting but ultimately saw sense and stuck to a protocol that is even more unfamiliar to the average consumer, Z-Wave.
