DIY Remote Solar Power System

Still cant post. So screenshotting my post again. Screenshot 2017-02-17 17.24.54.png

Based on you watt hour estimates it comes to 5.8kWh used daily. That amount would require a 12volt 2000Ah battery (5800wh / 12v x 4 = 1933Ah).

Good luck building that system out of paralleled 12volt batteries

Washer is 0.06 kWh for the cycle once a week

Well, the screen shot is something. But sadly, you have a battle ahead. I cannot condone a massive parallel system.
for a Fridge and other appliances, (short usage of the microwave, toaster, but all heating needs to be gas, not electric)
What about water, piped in? Well? Deep well? storage tank. Often, water systems are overlooked.
Batteries should be in a Series string, 6V golf cart batteries or floor scrubber batteries are a inexpensive start.
I'd go right to a 48V system, going to buy gear 1x, you should do it right.

I agree totally. I prefer to spend the $$ and get it right and done properly. I

I am sorry to tell you this, but you are in so deep, there is no way to help you make this right. Nothing you have is workable, safe, or will do what is expected. I do not think anyone here will help you because those of us that know are not going to help anyone build a fire trap or a system they know will fail.

The very first step is you have to determine daily Kwh usage. There is no other way. 99% of people grossly underestimate only to find out shortly they lost all their money and fin dout they need to spend 10 to 20 times more than they lost to make it work and be safe.

Good Luck.

Fortunately I saved it somewhere else this time... here is a screenshot of my post.

The forum software is very sensitive to anything that is copy and pasted, from another source, certain words and phrases trigger a auto delete, dont include links in your posts, the forum software thinks your a spammer.

Why are my posts being truncated??? ffs

[Hiro]

Well, thanks guys. I wrote a fairly extensive post with many questions. Only for it to be cut off for some reason. I was so mad last night when the site cut most of my post off, I went to bed...

That is some funny stuff, I don't care who you are.

500 watts of panels, 12 volt 70 AH Battery, and a 3000 watt Inverter.



OP with a 3000 watt Inverter requires a minimum 48 volt 600 AH battery, 60 amp Charge Controller, and a 2000 to 3000 watt Solar panel.

With 500 watts of panel requires a 40 Amp Charge controller, 12 volt 400 AH battery and can only supply a 500 watt Inverter.

What you propose does not fly and is a ticking time bomb. a 12 volt 70 AH battery would be cooked the first day.

Well how long do you expect his router to stay up with 7 X 10Ah.... and a 3kW inverter

[SunEagle]

Maybe the OP just realized that system is going to fail with 7 x 10Ah parallel batteries.
