Hello,
This spring, you guys helped me get the off grid solar back to operable. I inherited the maintenance on this system. I have a small setup. 2, 6v Duracell golf cart batts in series. An MPPT controller and I think about 200 or so watts of panels. It suits our needs of charging phones and some lights just fine (at the moment).
My question now is about winter storage. This house will be shut down on October 7th and left shuttered up until april/may. What is the best way to shut it down and store it? I can top off the batteries and disconnect them, or I can leave the array/controller connected to maintain them over the winter and disconnect the loads. I know in either scenario I need to make sure they are full (water wise). So what is the best scenario?
Thanks!
