Science/TechnologyRe: I Have 350k, Can I Install A Single Solar Panel For My Appliances? by eacoder: 12:01pm On Apr 21, 2024

Hmmm!

This is going to be a recipe for disaster.

One 250w solar panel at Isc of about 7A on a PWM charge controller will never take that battery to a full Bulk charge of 14.4V.

My guy will definitely have issues in less than 3 months after installation because the battery will sulphate from undercharging.

I will advise op get more funds and set-up something that will be worth the effort. An MPPT charge controller will be most appropriate because of its efficiency.
He will need about 2-3 additional panels for faster charging.

My guy, just invest the 350k and do a good job later.
You are not ready yet
He is using 100 AH , require 10 to 20 amps charging ,connecting four 100 watts panel in parallel of 4 amps each will make up to this

Mordecai:
90k for a 250W mono solar panel
18k for a 30A Pwm solar charge controller
130k for a 100ah 12v gel battery
100k for a 1kva inverter

It's possible, though not an optimal setup. But it will serve till you're ready to upgrade.
Where can I get 100 ah for 130 k, what brand is it?
