>1.71% Solar/Victron + Victron/Battery 2.17% + Inverter 9.36% = 13.24%
- 1.71% Solar/Victron: This loss is converting PV input to charging current? Interesting. The Midnite Classic spec sheet says "98%" typical system - so that's perfectly normal sounding.
- Victron/Battery 2.17%: This loss is between power going into the battery and coming out? I've been thinking that lithium-ion charge/discharge should be more at 1%? What do you think about this?
>We shall round it out to 15% losses in which case the system is ≈85% efficient as previous preliminary calculations seemed to indicate.
I'm happy with that!
I know what you mean, but then I look at my 2020 yearly total of 18,000kwh from panels but only 15,000 consumed. That's 3,000kwh that I'm 'loosing' and my SOCD starts rearing its head. Breathe.... Breathe.... Breathe (deeply)...
