A Solar Powered Service Truck - Come see all the day with our Power Tools With Sun Power Work

This article gives our readers an idea of what is needed to build a bank car uses solar panels, a DC-AC inverter and a battery power supply to allow the use of 120 volt appliances and tools in mobility and away from everyone. Our system is based on a four-wheel drive Chevrolet pickup truck with a shell mounted. 

 

Several solar cells are connected together is called a solar system. For our purposes, we used an array of 12 volts. There is also an array of 24 volts and48-volt against the matrixes, which are usually reserved for residential or commercial. We will only deal with arrays of 12 volts for this article. Our service truck is equipped with four Kyocera 125 watt, 12 volt roof in our shell utility. The formula to calculate how many amps which refers, of 125 watts at 12 volts = 10.42 amps per panel, or 41.68 amps for the set of four municipalities. To put things in perspective, it is a great car type charger 40 amps. This is a very high power densityand enough electricity to power our personal travel trailer for about two cloudy days.

The next important component of our system is a charge. The power comes from the plates in the charge controller, which is a Xantrex 40 A, in three phases of control that the correct execution of the battery when the maximum charging current is required. As the bank battery is fully charged, the controller "tapering to a lower speed, until the bank reaches more than 14 volts whenIt then goes to a mode "float", which has substantially the batteries to 100%.

batteries for renewable energy, is not the same starter batteries to start a vehicle. batteries of renewable energy are much thicker plates and are discharged and recharged many cycles are being built, as it will be a starter battery. They also have capabilities far more than a starting battery. We use four Concorde Sun Extender 6-volt batteries connected in series andparallel. This configuration gives our wiring of the battery, power reserve of 440 ampere-hours. These are AGM (absorbent glass mat) batteries are sealed and spill-resistant and therefore no security risks are, as far as liquor is concerned. Each battery has an amp rating 220 hours. Using a series and parallel circuit configuration, however, with the end of 440 hours amp. To illustrate the power here who think most new homes have received electricity from the utilities of 200Amp!

If we put this power of batteries in all of our stores we have to convert AC power inverter can be used, this is performed by our 2500 watt. The battery bank and inverter are connected by wire gauge welding very large. An inverter is 12 volts DC from the battery bank and change it to 120 volts alternating current, so we can coffee makers appliances such as microwave ovens for use in our homes and especiallyOn our service trucks, for all our instruments of power.

Our system allows us to go and work on construction sites all day, even if there is no electricity, construction, even without the noise or the cost of a generator. Of course, the battery pack may be downloaded and why such a large construction. A system should not be drained below 50%. The lower the discharge current, the lower the life expectancy you will receive from the battery. Most of our equipment has been purchased byWoods Solar in Idaho, we as well informed and reasonable in price. I also went the extra mile for us when we had problems. The cost of our system was provided by $ 4,000.00 for all of us in the labor market.
