How to install a solar battery

When organizing systems on solar panels, significant spending occur on their installation, which can be avoided if installing independently. The operation of the photoelectric panel will be effective only when specific conditions are met.

The placement location is selected as high as possible, not shaded by trees or buildings. Usually it is the roofs and walls, on Earth, solar panels are mounted using supports, lifting devices above the snow cover. Equipment should provide access to clean the surface from snow and contaminants.

Azimuth and slope - parameters affecting the amount of energy produced. The optimal direction is azimuth 180 ° (south), and the geographical latitude of the area should correspond to the average corner of the panel tilt, which is better to change - to reduce in winter, and in the summer it is increased by 12 °.

Fixing solar panels is carried out through mounting holes using fixators - both factory and self-made. Fasteners should have sufficient strength and corrosion resistance, space (at least 5-15 cm) is left between the mounting surface and the bottom of the panel to circulate air.

For the assembly of the solar power plant, the following will be needed:

Photoelectric panel, for example, CHN10-36M;
The charge controller will suit the economical EPHC10-EC;
Accumulator battery;
12V / 220V inverter converter with low standby (PS200-12);
Circuit breakers;
Connectors for connecting to the solar panel.

The selection of equipment for the system occurs, based on the technical requirements of manufacturers: at the maximum permissible load current and voltage.

All components are connected to each other according to the scheme, observing the polarity. Before turning on the system, the installation is checked correctly, the voltage on the solar panels is measured - the discrepancy of it with a passport value indicates incorrectly performed compounds.
