3 once you have calculated the solar panel as per the above calculations it s time to calculate the ah rating for the batteries that might be required for operating the specified load under all conditions.
Solar panel formula battery.
The power generation rating of a solar panel is also given in watts.
I have seen the excel sheet you have prepared for design of solar panel inverter and battery bank and it is awesome.
I want to maintain the 70 c temperature of 50 liters approx water using 500 w dc heater for 24 7.
3 84 kw gridtied battery backup solar system with outback power center and 12x heliene 320 panels wss outback grid tie w battery backup system for 12 heliene 60 cell modules 17 142 92.
However due to various loss factors solar panels rarely operate the their maximum rated power so i would recommend a 300w panel or 2 x 150w panels in this example.
Once the size of your battery bank and solar panel has been gotten the process of determining the type of charge controller to use is pretty straightforward.
And if you want to continue with your existing inverter then you can buy smarten 24v 50amp.
For example a 200ah 12v battery requires a minimum 20a solar charge controller and a 250w solar panel to generate close to 20a.
Using the formula p v a then we have 250w 12v 20a.
Here my application is little different on solar water heater.
With circuit wiring diagrams and solved examples.
In theory to calculate the energy it can supply to the battery you multiply watts of the solar panel by the hours exposed to sunshine.
If the selected battery is rated at 12v in that case.
A solar panel is only going to deliver charge during the sunlit hours and when not in shade so let s assume that we chase the sun all day by moving the solar panel around and get 8 hours of sunlight.
Below is a diy do it yourself complete note on solar panel design installation calculation about no of solar panels batteries rating backup time inverter ups rating load and required power in watts.
So at 6 65 amps for 8 hours a 120w solar panel can potentially deliver 53 2ah of chargeback into our battery 6 65amps x 8hours 53 2ah.
220 w panel 80 275w panel needed to recharge the 50 dod in 6 hours 1 day taking panel inefficiencies into account.
Complete solar panel installation design calculations with solved examples step by step procedure.

The final part to sizing your solar system is the solar panels.
