Hi All,
I'm thinking of building some type of energy storage for my solar system. Heres what I have planned...
using 20 12v 250AH deep cycle batteries in series to provide 240v
Mains connected directly to the batterys
1 charger connected to the solar system with a timer system to charge batteries during the day
1 charger with a relay system that when the battery bank goes below a certain output, it will charge off the mains.
From what I have worked out, I could build something like this for around the $8500 mark. I have been quoted close to $25k for a similar system.
Has anyone else done anything like this and care to share your thoughts?
