Hi folks, I am new here and very much appreciate the kindred spirit in the house.
I have an ambitious project of powering a 4 bedroom apartment with alternative energy in Africa.
the plan is to use DC air conditioners (4) and fridges (2) and then have the lighting and other appliances on AC.
5KVA for the DC current and then 3kVA for AC (using an inverter)
the Air conditioners comes at approx 700W.
My challenge is which battery system is best for the project and how best do I charge it.
Let's leave out turbines for now because of the geography of the place, with AC power from the grid coming for say 5hours a day. what's my best bet? (budget and qty)
