I see where your all-in-one advice came from on my vid. Am looking forward to the install video 😀 Good luck with your projects and I remained untriggered throughout!
@@Slider2732_ thanks a mil. Triggered a barrage of trolls with the last few vids, one of whom was another off grid content creator who should have known better which caught me by suprise. Any way this journey from 12 to 24 and now 48v has put us in touch with a truly awesome community of off grid enthusiasts, all at different stages and building some fantastic projects. Best of luck with your system and welcome aboard!
battery group in burnley for solar pannels 400w panels £60 37v, 595w £102 52v doing bundle deals 10x595w £1000, not the write time to be buying more solar panles tho, more windturbines, stil havent concreted wind turbine base yet, nervous and want all fittings so nothings out of line. does your roof face south ? just watched you solar vid, you got half cell
@@HenryOwens-py3ur wow that's a great price for the panels. Would be worth picking up a few after your turbine project is done. Glad to hear you're making progress on it, they take a good beating in winter so best to take your time and do it right. Our roof is ssw, not quite dead south.
I dont have the space for more panels, i could make another stand and point them ess, can fit another 6 on top of the 8 i have, but ive made a deck chair style solar array stand and can winch them upto 60degrees from 40, which generators 30% more power after September 20th when the suns 15degrees of the center, december 20th th the suns at 75degress only for a few hours. I could elongate the scaffold clip holes, if im out a bit, but i just think the less the grinding out the less galvanised spray and less rust.
@@ourkilkennyhomestead2006 It is very cool to winch up and down, useing the winch from my 700w turbine. i did buy a single axis controller with a wind speed sencor, that can winch the pannels down over a adjustable voltage=wind speed, but have made the bottom rail, that the winch pulls up and down abit to small, installed a 4x2, now wished id installed a 6x2 with roller wheels.
@@HenryOwens-py3ur that IS pretty cool. That's how we learn though, build the first gen, then make improvements on the 2nd gen. After a few years it's all perfect!
I also use a metal storage shed for the batteries. Much smaller than yours. To avoid / limit humidity on the metal walls, especially during winter, I needed to isolate the walls. Also, it is better for the battery if the temperature is higher. Isolating the metal walls might help.
@@jean-paulcastellano9589 great job Jean Paul. Considering the large CMÉ that happened recently I'm also wondering if grounding the metal shed may be a good idea going forward.
Voltacon is a good company I reckon...I bought a couple of pv combiner boxes from them,messed up the order my end,they were very cool about it,and I think the boxes were very well made.So thumbs up for Voltacon..it's a big unit,looking forward to your updates.👍
@@hedfuka8608 right now the missus has the hoover running while I'm drying the kids hair with the hair dryer, pulling 95% load on a rainy night purely from batteries. The 3kw conversol is having no problem doing it. Can't wait to see what the 11kw unit can do....
@@ourkilkennyhomestead2006 Grounding the shed: I did not do it. But why not. Especially that you have a lot of electrical equipement in it. I do not think it is a good idea to ground the batteries. On my side, initially I though it was a good idea, but after some research, I read stuff against it, so I did not do it. Related to grounding, you might want to ground your wind turbin mast.
@@jean-paulcastellano9589 yes indeed, grounding the batteries isn't necessary in relation to cme's. It's only equipment with a pcb that would suffer the most. Grounding a metal shed would create a farraday cage around the equipment transmitting unwanted outside energy to ground away from sensitive equipment.
Cheap lightweight. High frequency, transformerless inverters like these offer no galvanic isolation for safety, and they offer a shorter life expectancy and a poorer surge capacity than higher performance low frequency, transformer based inverters.
Love your video thanks very much !
Great job and knowledgeable customer. Thank for choosing Voltacon to be power independent 😊
Thank you! Looking forward to adding more Voltacon equipment to our setup in the future.

@@HenryOwens-py3ur the deck chair style panel array sounds brilliant. Less spray less rust, definately a good call.

@@solarcharging9743 they have a big toroidal transformer inside. Read up about them, before making assumptions.
