Sir, whats the performance of your wind turbines? I am thinking in that direction and would really appreciate your input.

Don't bother with Wind unless you are in a very windy area ( read on the coast ) or top of the hill.

The 200 Watt turbines make enough energy in a week what a single 200 Watt panel does in an hour . the turbine will need 12m/s to reach rated power

I have both the wind meter tester and horizontal shaft for sale for the brave guys out there. I will keep the vertical shaft as pon occasion it produces some power

bigrovar:
Just finally moved to my own ...

Congrats on your new house and neat installation.

Just finally moved to my own modest house. Decided to finally take a chill pill on the race for the higher wattage and settle for efficiency on the consumption side. This allowed me to set aside some funds for putting a roof over my head all glory be to God. My 1.84kw panel is all the electricity I need for now. I will connect to the grid once am done with some finishing touches to the house.. I generate enough to provide me 24 hours electricity that meets every basic needs refrigeration, laundry, light, TV, kitchen stuff.

The house runs on LED spot lights the highest being the single 12w kitchen lights. Over night amps draw before sun rise is 75AH from a 24v 200ah battery. I had time regig my setup.. Power drill was a life saver.

congrats,nice setup too

congrats on the move, nice setup you have. the roof mounts...are the prefab or locally made?..am looking for cheap mounts that will contain 6 panels, they said the prefab mounts can only take 4

mix of both. 6 panels are on prefab 2 are on locally fabricated. Actually the locally fabricated are mainly perforated angle iron bars in my opinion they do a much neater job compared to the turnkey mounts and allow for easier adjustment on the roof.

The time is now 10.45 ... and it has been very sunny since 8am here . . If I turn on all the loads my inverter can carry (maximum);
and the sun keeps up like this till about 5pm . .with little or intermittent shades . . . then verily verily i say unto you, I will do x6 of my array

Oga Niyi,
Good morning , I hail ooo ! All this your long thesis sef ... All I said was simplified , you have been to my place and I have also been to your crib and I must say that in all solar calculations we have losses we must contend with ! Question you asked and expecting raw figures has already been answered by Oga George D few pages ago when he detailed about "Oversizing your PV array" against rainy days ceteris paribus & that was a major reason why he gets charge current even when his panels are dusty ! Juo also gave you some tweaks which most will say its unethical to load an mppt above its required wattage . we must not type about personal experiment or tweaks which worked for us here as it might not work for Mr B due to factors surrounding his mppt brand etc ...
Juo has also mentioned it in past but most will always argue its wrong but i just smile ... I discuss better with most who engage me in qualitative chats about their PV yield . Richmond will also tell you that "its most of us day to day business and we feed our family on this" ..
In summary, I replied my total PV array as MAX 1600w "loss inclusive" as I have always been a 24v fan like Oga Durodee and utilise my panels to peak ! I get 50-62a cc always and most sceptic pals will still tell you that your mppt might blow up on the short run due to operating at max , over heating et al but mine smiles daily at max .. Cheer's

the secret is the cooling system he incorporated

Malevonent:
These are great results KieKie

The question you seem to be so cleverly dodging is what is the exact size of your PV array that is very similar to @Durodee's? 1.5kw? or 1.6kw? or 1.8kw? or 2.4kw? that routinely generates 8.9kwh daily yield ?

If you have a 1.53kw array like @Durodee then we are looking at a superlative 6times PV array size daily yield which is superior even to the best known routine results from high sun intensity and long solar days areas like Australia.

I am asking you to tell us the exact size of your PV array not to throw shade but rather so we can put the yield results in perspective and any newbies can set realistic expectations.

If you are daily generating 6 times your array size on a regular basis then we all need to come learn at your feet and pick up pro tips and tricks to use in our own installs




ahha, good you spotted his carefully worded response , i noticed but decided to ignore, but as you hv broached the subject.................................

am fairly certain his array is oversized, why he refuses to state the full capacity of his array, am really clueless , makes no sense at all.
my array is 1500w on 24v inverter, hooked up on 60amp epsolar, hv been adviced by the house to ramp it up to 2000w or 1800w to squueze out the the remaining juice from my setup.

this i hv decided to do this easter, will add 2 x 250w panels and change my setup from a 2 strings of 3panels to 4 strings of 2 panels.
max instantenous wattage i hv observed is about 1320w, i must confess my installation isnt optimal,,,as i simple used the existing roof space, hopefully the extra 500w will take to to the promised land of squeezing out 1600w fromm my cc as kiekie

he avoided it cos some will say the cc will fry. to generate 9kwh on 24v he has over 2.5kw array which many will discourage

What do you think about LED light? I know that a lot of people are using it for planting and it's working really cool. I just took a look at https://smokeandbuzz.com/california-lightworks-solarstorm-led-grow-lights-review/ and it seems that my plants are growing faster. I wanted to try solar panels but it's better to stop at LED.

Kwarrect! Just as you taught me.

Additional cooling (e.g AC or DC fan) on top of the inbuilt heatsink or fan will help prevent controller derating and reducing output current especially under heavy duty/high amps operation.
