Is there any place to make a suggestion to the Forum host for a higher layer category?
I have not been here long, but it seems many post center around similar problems. Array too small, batteries wrong voltage, series vs. parallel, if I have this can I do that? etc. etc.
I think it would be cool to have a section Titled "Solar Math" where a lot of the methods to calculate these common values could be posted and or debated.
Examples:
How do I calculate PV circuit current?
How do I calculate conductor size?
How do I calculate over current protection fuses/breakers?
How do I size my inverter to my battery / array? or visa versa what size inverter can I run if my batteries are x ah at y volts. etc.
How do I calculate the max voltage when I put panels in series or parallel?
How do I calculate the max amperage when I put panels in series or parallel?
How do I de-rate this or that and why?
How do I calculate the charge time for my batteries?
How do I calculate the gratuity for parties of 6 or more? Just seeing if you're paying attention.
etc.
etc.
I'm positive that these math problems have been answered here time and time again but it is hard to find them.
Not trying to put anyone out of a job, I just think many larger problems can be solved starting with the smaller concepts.
Maybe this is already grouped somewhere and I just failed to find it.
If you think it's a good idea no big deal and if not, that's cool to.
