Howdy Yall :-)
24 Volt = 140 1.4 V Nife batts series and paralell ( not done yet, more to go )
amph = I'm not smart enough to figure that one out.
I don't think the hot water solar panel makes any power !

24 volt bank with-12 +12 section 24 volt charging with a 200 volt pulser



144 Volt DC (3.00 / 0) (#3)

We have 144 volt stand alone battery charging systems at BOTH our homes.

12 volts (2 x 6 volt batteries in series) Runs pretty much anything you could plug into a car lighter socket.

Yes, it's that 'car lighter socket' thing that keeps me at 12V!

Yep!  I can't see a reason for me to go to any other voltage, unless I could make 110 ac directly and store it in a battery. Let me know when they develop that.  <wink>

24 volts on the house, 24 volts with 2 battery arrays on the shed along with a bank of 10 nife batteries hooked up for 16 volts. Also 12 volts for some of the shed gear.

A man cant ever have enough RE in my opnion

Currently at 12v. Planning 24v -- have invertor and building motor conversion.

12 volt   Can change to 24 volt if i find an inverter i can afford.
later

  1. V (24 x 2V/500AH AGM) primary bank
  2. V (8 x 6V/220AH flooded lead/acid) secondary bank.

12 volt dc on pv the house runs on 110 ac i think


Re: Poll - What is your System Voltage (3.00 / 0) (#16)
by bob g on Tue Apr 22, 2008 at 06:25:18 PM MST

originally planned for 12 volts, only because i can keep my cable runs short
and my loads very small relatively speaking.
changed up to a 24 volt plan because of finding three propane powered telecom 6kwatt gensets at a price i could not refuse.
if i keep planning and not doing, heaven knows what i will end up with!
actually i think i have settled on 24 and will stick with that voltage.

two large D Batteries 12 volt going to 24 volt this fall or next spring. small solar hopefully putting in micro hydro next year

400AH @ 24vdc,  1750w UPS as an inverter.  Runs my shop stuff except the 1.5 hp motors.

  I'm using 12vdc and small gas generator for 120vac.

24v with 2 arrays of agms 400ah main house kept charged by 880w of solar. 12v with 1 array agms 160ah in the shop addition kept topped off with a 108v dc turbine hooked directly to the bank via a diode. Oh yeah and 800 ah of 12v spare batteries.

kenny

seemed like a good idea at the time

500ah lead acid, 12v, 1200w inverter runs computer, big screen, and lights no problem
on a hugh piggott 8' turbine

Hi All, 48 volts.  JB
