Hi everyone, I am still learning but have been studying, hoping you can help me dial in some details for my off grid system. Could you guys please pick apart these system plans:
Daily Load Required: 2.5Kw
Panels: 6 x SolarWorld 315w Mono
CC: Schneider XW-60-15 MPPT
Inverter: Conext SW4048
Batt Bank: 8 x Trojan L16RE-B: 48V @ 370AH
Generators: Onan 4500 LPG-Fueled, Honda 2000EU
Location: Eastern WA
PV Watts gave me irradiance values of at least 4 on all months except Nov-Feb...lowest is 1.07 in December. I plan to use generator to help power those times.
Okay so I am guessing that the inverter is too large...but let me add that one of my loads is a 230ft deep well pump 1/2hp 115V with 670W-full load/960W-max load and has a locked rotor amp rating of 50.5. My other desire for the SW4048 is the 48V configuration as well as the generator support. The idle power draw listed on the SW4048 manual is 27w which I added to my load. I would not be heart broken to go with another inverter...but would like to keep with the 48V system plans. Thanks for your help guys!
