Solar Power System Setup

Basic quick solar setup and tutorial guide.

Solar power system setup.

This instructable will show you everything you need to put together a pretty good sized electric solar panel system. Usually the solar power systems use 12 volt batteries however solar panels can deliver far more voltage than is required to charge the batteries. The basic off grid system is comprised of. Things you will need.

The solar panel systems are often referred to as pv or photovoltaic solar power systems. Solar panels charge controller battery charger 2 awg cable at least one 12 volt marine deep cycle battery mechanical lugs 1 power inverter 1 rubbermaid tote or other container 1 battery charger tools. For example if you have a cabin that you can t connect to a power grid and you don t want to rely on a traditional gasoline powered generator you might consider installing a small photovoltaic solar power system. Solar panels batteries solar charger controller and inverter.

By in essence converting the excess voltage into amps the charge voltage can be kept at an optimal level while the time required to fully charge the batteries is reduced.

Where everything just snaps together like legos. Setting up a basic energy system is easy as everything is basically modular.
