They will also allow for consumption increases from an electric vehicle, home expansion or other needs. Find your Solar Hours per Day using the color-coding on this map. Enter the value for your location into the solar calculator.
The solar map uses insolation, a measure of solar radiation energy received on a given surface area in a given time. The map shows the average daily total solar radiation throughout the United States. It was developed using our tax dollars by the U. Whereas over the last 10 years, the price of residential solar installations in Average prices found through the Solar. How do you maintain your solar panels to Close Search.
No menu assigned! Solar Panels for Home. Solar Panel Cost. Solar Financing. Solar Battery. Battery Backup vs Generator How do solar batteries work? Solar FAQs. General Solar. What size panel will this require? Sorry but I think the calculator only works when sizing systems with batteries, but this is not how I want the system to work, thanks.
BatteryStuff Tech It would be best to check with the pump manufacturer to make sure the Solar panel can be connected directly to the pump. A 12v Solar panel will output around You need to ensure the pump can take that voltage.
As far as what is required you said it is a watt pump, so any panel in that range in full sun will turn the pump as long as the pump is designed to run at the higher voltage the panel puts out. Personally I would get a panel towards the higher end of the range as it will most likely make the water flow quicker. Any suggestion on cabling size differences, potential power loss and any other consequences?
BatteryStuff Tech When getting into this range of solar I would suggest talking to a home solar expert. Harish i want to know the size of a solar panel for supplying a 48V,50A battery.
Tyler The batteries in parallel field 19 and the batteries in series field 20 should be multiplied to get the value for total number of batteries field Right now batteries in parallel is divided by batteries in series to get the total number of batteries. Also I would add the battery voltage as an input and calculate the batteries in series based on that input, right now it assumes 12 volt batteries but your website has 6 volt and even 2 volt available too.
Just some suggestions to improve the output. BatteryStuff Tech A minimum of 12 volts is assumed as that is in general the lowest system voltage one uses for solar. Yes we offer 2 volt and 6 volt batteries, however they would be put in parallel to achieve 12 volts at a minimum. I will however see if we can maybe expand the calculator to give people options to dictate which type of batteries they would be putting in parallel or series.
Thank You for your suggestion. We would require more information about your situation. Please contact one of our techs at tech batterystuff. Frawsen sorry for my bad english! I sincerely apologize for confusing you! Thank you very much in advance! Kindly, Frawsen. Frawsen Hi, Thanks for this calculation tool! It is fantastic! So please give the end answer i. The ambient temp shall be 80 degrees Celsius.
The use of the earth closet is only summer time — i. May to September in southern Sweden, Scandinavia. There is a fan as well, which consumes 25 W-AC and a light bulb with 5 Watts.
I guess these two go on when the earth closet is in use. Barry Thank you for ths this great calculator. I also have 2.
Total max charge current is 36amps at 48v. Does this mean I have too much charging current going to my batteries? At 12v they have a max recommended charging current of 10amps each.
Thanks in advance if you can help me. Zaks Am having a challenge with line to determine the number of solar panels in parallel.
Please advise. BatteryStuff Tech Zaks, That is taking the total wattage pv required to run the system, and dividing it by the size of panel you input, which gives you the number of panels of that size that would be necessary to run your system. Only 1 day of back up needed as I will retain the existing AC light. Was the Field 18 entry correct? The pump needs Jeremy Steve, Yes that is correct. The calculator was set up for 12 volt systems originally.
Thanks for catching that :. Peter G What size panel do I need to trickle charge a 12volt battery for a John Deere riding lawnmower? Dewale Thanks for a very useful tool. What is the limit of total solar watts that can be connected to a given ah battery?
I have a watts, 12V, AH inverter system. I have a watts AC load to be powered daily for at least 8 hours. The calculation showed I need 15 nos of watts panel in parallel connection to charge the ah battery.
At what point do I reach the maximum no of panels in watts or amp that can be connected on a given battery? Jeremy Fear Great question. We would approach it a different way though. I have watt sine inverter i have a new xundel controller which always shows that the battery is fully charged however the controller beeps that battery power is low after only using the laptop for 2 hours- what else do i need.
BatteryStuff Tech If your battery runs low after running your laptop for 2 hours, then I recommend using a battery with more capacity higher AH rating.
Waseem Dear Tech, its nice to come to know about your such a good and infomative site, great work. Say you use a Watt solar panel. If your system is 12 volts nominal this is what I recommend you do:. This is a simple version for estimates only. But clearly a Watt solar panel can charge at a rate of roughly amps per hour. Therefore, the controller should be rated for more to compensate for this. I recommend a 12 volt 20 amp controller for this example. VYAPU how much amp battery is required for 40 watt solar panel where sunlight is available for 9 hour.
What is your battery being used for? Chris What is meant by batteries in parallel and is this absolutey necessary. BatteryStuff Tech Batteries in parallel is inportant.
For example, If you put in that you were going to use 10 AH batteries, but based on your load you need AH available, then in order to run your system you will need 10 batteries in parallel. Then when rounded it gets rounded down to 0. Rounded to the nearest whole number, that explains why it says 0. Hopefully common sense will tell you otherwise. Willie Hi, most interesting.
What is the maximum DOD degree of Depletion would you allow your batteries to drop to on a daily basis, taking into consideration the deeper you go the less cycles you will get out of a set of batteries. Your comments please. I see no mention of any regulation in the comments and questions above?
I use a MPPT 40 amp regulator? Montagu, South Africa. We mention this in our battery tutorial and other articles in our Knowledge Base. We do not sell MPPT regulators, and therefore cannot say either way if it is effective or not. I want to use the battery bank to charge these for later use. How would I go about using solar panels and a battery bank to charge a car battery but not overcharging and burning up small electronic rechargeable batteries?
BatteryStuff Tech Our solar panels are designed for 12 volt systems, primarily lead acid batteries like car batteries. To prevent overcharge, please us a solar charge controller. As far as the actual calculations go, please use the calculator to find out how many watts you need for charging. If you know your system voltage, draw amount amps, watts, etc , and number of sunlight hours, you should be good to go. BatteryStuff Tech Within how many hours of direct sunlight do you feel comfortable relying on per day?
How many days do you need the batteries to be recharged by? Adeyemi T Lets say 6hr sunlight per day. I want to be using only solar to recharge the batteries.
BatteryStuff Tech I do not know how much power you need to recharge the batteries. I will assume because you are using AH batteries that you will need to recharge amps in 6 hours. BatteryStuff Tech What are the capacities of the batteries? What is the output voltage of the solar panels? BatteryStuff Tech Watts will charge a 48 volt system at a rate of 7 amps per hour.
Therefore, it will take 23 hours of direct sunlight to charge Amp Hours. Micah I had a question about the Solar Panel array. It will be running on a 12V system, and its days of backup should be between days. BatteryStuff Tech Line 31 will always round up. The actual number that you need to equal to 1 will be line The is the Raw number. For instance, if you select a panel in line 25, and line 29 gives you 1. Abdullah Hasan Al Ghaya Gentlemen: Greetings I have loads electrical capacity of 15, watts which is about lambs ,fans and conditioners and fans Laptops and small mills Please help me choose a system capacity of the solar system works?
