Geek Prepper Survival Skills when SHTF!
I got the Sunforce 60031 10amp Charge controller installed today. Now I can see the voltage of my battery bank.
The Sunforce 60031 10amp Charge controller can handle up to 150 Watts, so I know I’ll be replacing that in a few months, as I plan on purchasing 100 Watt Monocrystalline panels from now on.
I think the Sunforce 60032 30 Amp Digital Charge Controller, that can handle up to 450 Watts, may be my next charge controller, but we’ll see how that works out. If I get more than 4 100 Watt panels I may have to go bigger!
I also replaced the jumper cables I was using to chain together my 2 batteries in my battery bank.
My system is really starting to look a lot less cobbled together than before.
Note the old, tiny charge controller still fastened to the wall stud. That’s to to be taken down.
I’m glad I took the slow, and “build as I go” approach to implementing a solar power system. If I’d have purchased a full “ready to go” solar kit, I wouldn’t be learning much at all.
Looks like the batteries are almost fully charged!
Next step, more higher powered panels!
