RE: 24 VOLT SOLAR BATTERY BANK - How To Wire It Up - Wiring Charts Included
Nice! I've been considering solar for a while but haven't done any research, good to learn that 24v is better than 12v, and 48v is even better. Looking forward to your others in the series!
Note to those who are having issues streaming -- Dtube has a "download" link just under the video on the right side, so you can download it and then watch it in VLC etc. I did that and it took longer to download than YouTube videos do (which I download with KeepVid.com), and also it downloads it in "parts" so I can't start watching immediately like I can with KeepVid -- that's a great time-saving feature!, but anyway when it finished I could watch it and use the "]" and "[" keys to speed up/slow down in 10% increments. I regularly watch YouTube videos at 2x and now would like to go even faster; with VLC, I can!
So you may think 48 is a lot more efficient than 24 volts. Its not much. Maybe 2 or 3%. The thing is with 48 is you need a lot more batts to make up your bank.If tho's are 6 volts each you would need 8 to make 48 volts. So what happens if you lose just one of tho's. Your now down all 8. Where in a 24 volt setup up. You can still use 4 and have some power.
That is where 48 volts hits a wall. All of that for 4% more efficiency just is not worth it in my book. That is why I like and use 24 volts. Hope that helps some. God Bless
Great, thanks for the explanation, that makes perfect sense -- I'll stick to 24 volts, when I get my system going. You got a new follower. :) Blessings!
I put up a vimeo link for those who are viewing from Steemit. I think I'll do that for every post to give people options. Great to know about the VLC. THANKS!
