016 Getting Output!
Those parallel wires will have to be added to or replaced with something larger when the system grows. This is the first start. It started putting out 5 amps at 50 volts DC into the inverter. That makes for 250 watts going back into the grid, yea! |
017 Battery Box
Our focus was a grid tie system, but the Outback inverter required batteries. We still choose it because it allowed us to be flexible. Luckily, we just needed a static load to power everything, so we got 4 12V, 8AH SLA batteries and wired them in series. They cost about $85. The wooden box we had on hand. |
