I live in the Mojave desert, we just put in a well for drinking water.
General Info on our place:
We are hooked up to SCE as our yearly use is about 15000kw and a system to go off the grid is just too much money our house is 610 sqft and we are all electric.
The house has 2 AC's a 10k and a 14k BTU which keep it at 74 even on the 120 degree days.
In a 150 sqft shed outback we have a shirt business which we use a 10k BTU AC and a 1500 watt heat press at the same time in the summer, the shed stay about 74 during the summer.
Had a well drilled and purchased a RPS 800V solar pump to pump into a 3000 gallon tank.
I also purchase day 800gpd reverse osmosis water system that will pump into a 3000 tank that supplies the house, our water usage is about 150 gpd in the house.
The RO needs about one gallon a minute @ 50psi pressure water to the feed the unit a 60 gallon pressure tank ( reducing the cycling of the pressure supply pump) will supply the water from the well holding tank via a Burcam booster pump 3/4 hp.
RO pressure pump to force the water thru the filters is also a 3/4 hp pump.
All the systems are 120 volts.
For the RO and Burcam pump I have 24 FS-387 85 watt 48 volt panels that I am ground mounting.
I have not gotten my charge controller or inverter yet these are going to be purchased shortly after I figure out the best way to set up my system.
Can I run my RO and Burcam pump directly from the charge controller without a battery bank if I put them on a timer that came on at 10am and went off at 3pm allow panels to be producing full power when the RO and Burcam come on line.
The RPS 800v Uses 8 100watt 12v panels.
If I need a battery bank I plan on using 8 Trojan T-105 6 Volt battery bank.
Can I hook up both the 24 85watts and the 8 100 watts to the same bank?
If I use a battery bank I am thinking of using 2 24 volt inverters one for the RO and one for the Burcam that way if one falls I still am making power in case I need power to run an AC in the house.
Any comments or suggestion on my what I am trying to do?
Thanks
Jack
