I'm stoked.
13+KW/h's per day should easily power the house 24/7 but for some reason it isn't so I need to trace that down now.
I'd be stoked too! And I am still jealous. Congrats!
How are the batteries? New, used, abused?
What voltage are they typically?
Just because the hydro is making 560W 24/7 does not mean the battery can hold it all.
After a few hours, the battery will be at control voltage, then much less of the 560W is not being stored for later use.
The system can only supply 560W, plus whatever is in the battery.
If the system should be keeping up, and it is not, I would be looking at the batteries a lot closer. If they are relatively new, might be a good idea to add another set now.
Throw in 400W of solar on top of the 560W of hydro, and it will not take very long before the battery bank is at regulation voltage.
Use it while you got it?
Thinking things like do laundry and vacuum when the sun is out, because the 400W of solar power used then would not have been stored to use after dark anyway.
