Kilted said:Here is battery backup system:
Battery bank 8 x 12V 250A battery connected as 2 parallel 48v strings for 48v 500A or 24kwh 12-18kwh usable.
Inverter 5KW continuous, 7KW peak for a few seconds -- motor starting, etc.
Solar Panels to charge the batteries 5.2KW rated, I see 3.7kw actual max. output.
When the batteries are charge which is most of the time the excess energy is sold back to PG&E lowering my electric bill.
