Have you had the chance to check out Unisolar strips? I'm seeing them on ebay for $199 at a claimed output of 124v. From what i'm seeing, that may be a solution to the 'breakage' conundrum.

@spunkyprep Yes, technology is changing rapidly for sure

Hi, now that you have had some time using the Windmax turbines, do you still consider them a quality unit? I have a new Windmax 1000w 24V turbine in transit to me that I was able to purchase at a descent price. My original plan was to install two Windmax 400w 12V turbines, as I believe I read somewhere that they have a faster start up in lower wind speeds? Now that I have the 1000w coming, would I be better off putting up two additional two 400w turbines or an additional 1000w. Thanks! Paul

@TheMoonrakers Never had a single bit of problem out of my turbines, those things just keep going strong. You did the right thing getting the HY-1000, in normal winds of around 12mph you'll be getting around 300 watts out of its 1000 watt rating, of course the power rises very quickly as the wind picks up. Get another 1,000 that's what I did, the 400 output is too low in moderate wind.

Hi, nice set-up

I am working on a 15kw, 70 panels, 250w each, Mobile System. I can use some help to figure this one out. I have the offer for panels (SBM), the batteries (VALENCE) but I am stuck on the Inverters and Integration, 220Volt/60Hz. The system is divided in 14 racks of 5 panels each, about 40" x 80" per panel. We plant about 24 batteries, at 138ah, for 2hours UPS minimum.

Your video and install is very professional. I had no time to visit the Great Banks Yet. Tks. Theo.orsys@yahoo.com

@OrlandoSystems Assuming you'll wire for 48 volts (I would), then you would end up with four banks of 6 batteries in series each and then the four banks connected in parallel. That will give you 3,312 Amps but at 50% draw you'll have 1,656 amps usable power which at 48volts equals 79.488 KW. If you plan on using that much in 24 hours then you'll need a 4KW inverter. The rest is simple just choosing which circuits to wire to a transfer panel with sufficient circuits.

@AussieHomestead I can carry more power with smaller wires, fuses, etc. Essentially I can lower my overall AMP load while increasing my WATT load.

Use the solar cells to create and store hydrogen. Purchase a quality gas generator suitable to your energy needs. Convert the generator to burn hydrogen. Wire the generator to feed the main breaker panel.

Then inform the electric company to remove their property from your residence or legal action will be taken.

Hi and thank you for your reply.

We are getting 12v from the Cells and will deliver 15kw of 220V/60 hz or 380V triphase. For purpose of reliability, I cannot do anything in series. only paralell. This unit will power a Sea Water Desal unit in Africa (if we can finish the Solar unit). The Solar system will use the Batteries as Buffer and a Diesel Generator as a UPS, in daytime. Rgds, Theo.

thanks bro!
