If the panel was moved with a new set of longer cable, and not just an extension after extension, that would be the best thing to do. Other than that, 50 feet of cable is about the maximum I would recommend. There is a loss of energy due to distance, but within 50 feet it’s nothing to worry about. If your panel is receiving more sunlight in this new location, that would offset any loss due to cable length.

It has a 12v 18AH SLA battery in it. My load varies with IPODS cell phones etc.. I am guiessing like a 15-20 watt will suffice + a small inverter since the charge input is AC but it does have 2 cigarette lighter dc out ports. Any suggestions? thanks HI James

But like series for batteries, you can connect another solar panel of the same rating to give you the 24 volts you need. It‘s very important that voltage systems match.

First of all, I would suggest running your pump off batteries, not from solar panels. Next, is your pump rated to draw 220 volts? If so, using an inverter is fine as long as the inverter is rated to handle the maximum load that the pump will pull from the batteries at any one time (Wattage rating). If your batteries are configured for 12 or 24 volts, make sure your inverter is also properly rated, as well as the solar panels. Everything has to match up.

The specs I see from on the ac unit is that it will operate at 2600W at 220VAC. I‘m hoping to be able to run this unit completely off grid as energy prices are quite high. In my area, I get approximately 6 to 8 hours of good sunlight. I expect that my air condition will be in operation Mon to Fri for 6 hours per day and on Saturday and Sunday 14 hours per day for a total of 58 hours per week. I‘m looking to use deep cycle batteries which are rated at 145ah. My hope is to use solar to recharge the batteries. My question My question is- how many batteries would I need to run this ac unit and how many solar panels would I need as well? Can you recommend which solar panels I should use? Thanks in advance.

A 20 Watt Panel will deliver roughly 1.3 amps of charge an hour. A good 6-7 hours of direct sunlight will produce 7.8 – 9.1 amps of charge a day. How effective that is depends on how much capacity is remaining on your battery. Links: ------ [1] http://www.batterystuff.com/kb/tools/ Your basic calculations are pretty good.

They channel and change voltage, usually 12 volts DC goes into the inverter, and 120 volts AC comes out. If your inverter is also a charger, hopefully it is a 3-stage automatic charger, which will taper charge off automatically when the battery is full. If not, you can measure the voltage of your battery to determine if it is fully charged or not. Read our battery tutorials for this info.

This can cause some voltage sensitive applications to malfunction. I don‘t know about a fan, I would think maybe not. A controller would regulate the voltage, but these units are not simple “regulators”. They are designed to connect to a battery. They “read” the voltage input from the battery in order to determine what output voltage to let pass from the solar panel. Having a controller and no battery would not work. For the safest scenario, I recommend using a 12 volt, deep cycle battery with enough capacity to power your fan, and use the solar panel to recharge the battery daily. 12 volt solar panels will have a range of voltage output, and it‘s uneven.
