Between 7600HD and 3000HD which is the best and do they have upgrades? They seem not to support 8PSK and HD does not include 1080p

Mavella: update key please.

Hi Pidzo, have been able to nail them and are they showing coz someone claimed that one needs a multistream satellite receiver to watch them

George_D: permie,
1) your solar panels are way too undersized for your system and they're not able to bring up your
batteries to full charge.

2) your load usage is rather heavy for that size of battery bank hence you end up over-discharging the
batteries way beyond their safe dod.


solution,

use the system sizing sheet bodejohn attached in his post and do a proper sizing for all your loads.
you may have to consider increasing your battery bank size and also your solar panels. on the
alternative think of the possibility of augmenting with public power for charging the batteries when
avauilable.

Thanx George D, its an off grid area for my grandpa though it will be on grid soon and aid in charging the batt's. I'll use the sizing sheet since at the moment am using a phone

bodejohn:

@ Permie, it seems although not completely clear that you are off grid, that is, you only charge your batteries with the solar panels.
If this is the case, the timing that is bolded above does not add up for me.

I am attaching a simple excel sheet that will give you an idea of what you require in terms of battery bank and solar cells.

Cheers!

Thanx alot Bodejohn, its on an off-grid area. I'll work out on the excel sheet and report back the finding

I am a newbie from Kenya though i have been following the thread. I have a set up of 2 x120W solar panels, STECA PR3030 charger controller, two 12V 100Ah champion batteries, OPTI-UPS IS1100LT 1100VA/660W (24V)inverter. The batteries are connected in series, the problem is the state of charge does not pass beyond 65% even when the sun is hot from morning to evening and it drops significantly when you switch on the appliances. The total load of the house is 650W though i use 75W tv for 2 1/2hrs, 20W for 1hr, 14W for 1hr, 36W for 1hr but the system cannot run more than 3hrs and the load does not run simultenously. I also have 135W tv and cann't use it coz at times on switching on it switches off the inverter and the system running is reduced. What could be the problem and remedy to these?
