It's a nice February day with lots of sun. On days like today, I like to 'USE' the solar energy that is available: today that means running the garage freezer, backup fridge/freezer and my son is cooking pizza outside in the electric oven. We have a 800 Watt PV input stored in a 12 V battery bank (4x 6V 205 Ah golf cart batteries) with a 2300 Watt inverter.
During the Winter we're getting about 3 KW's on a normal day. My panels are set for Summer sun, so that would increase if/when I move the panels. None the less - it's nice to cook out side on a beautiful day like today!
Photos:- Lunch! Cooked outside with solar power to our small elec oven.
- 132.2 Amps being used by the inverter
- 612 Watts PV to 51 Amps to the battery / inverter, about 85 Amps coming from the battery to make up the difference.
If only I had more panels, batteries, ... it's a never ending adventure!
