Hey Everyone,
I'm looking at a cost effective way to get my home powered on off of solar energy. I'm almost where i want to be with parts.
So far i've accumulated:
9 X 195w Pannels
10 X AGM Deep Cycle Trojan lead Acid 85ah Batteries
1 x Solar Mppt 30 amp Controller (confirmed will charge 24v Lead bank.. not sure if it can do 48v I have to check the manual )
need to source a solar pannel mounting kit possibly.. or will mount to top of my shed roof
as far as a ups to convert i'm looking at the Apc smart ups 1400va, (950w); however can easily modify them for capability up to 1500w i'm able to locate a couple on Kijiji locally and there are some youtube videos of guys modifying them for more surge current, one vid i saw showed surge current up to 3500w+ on a apc 1500xl unit .
I found a cyberpower pp2200 .. this is more powerful one stock .. 2200VA 1500w however i believe its 48v only which might be a problem for my solar controller..
they are both sine wave .. ones is pure sine wave.. the other just sine wave .. is that the same thing?
anyone out here on the es using a ups or thought of using one, would love to hear your experience
thanks
