Well crap what next
Long time lurker of the solar community. Slowly been acquiring pieces/parts. What started as just 1-2 panels and a small battery in a rolling tool has sun burst a little a little beyond that. And I just learned about the difference between series and parallel in panels and should probably look into that with batteries.
Main thing. Trying to figure out the best pure sine inverter and solar charge controller if that is separate or are some combined?
For the inverter the wattage, is that going out or coming in? How do I not flash fry my unit or myself when my cats need me most and the power is out?
Also I have 2 old Enphase micro-inverters that are linked by a wire. Gentleman was selling them $35 a pop as well with the panels.
I have a multitude of panels, for this I would primarily be using 6-8, used (10 y/o) (got em $35 a pop), 235w panels (last tested pulling 180-199 watts in direct sun. I also have 2 new 100w and 2 200w folding panels primarily for my Delta power bank. I have a 150ah and 280ah eco worth LiFePo. I am considering expanding the battery bank with 1-2 more 280ah if on sale again.
The purpose of this would be to run basics, most taxing equipment out be a standing AC in dead summer heat or oil/space heater in dead winter cold.
I’ve been looking at 3000-6500w inverter unit things
I’ve got a moderate amount of experience with generators and getting them running/the load on them but jumping into a new pond of adventure with the solar.
