First post on this.
My goal is to have an energy storage system that is readily expandable to augment and eventually take over my grid-tie system at a minimal cost.
I can't do the open wall set up in my house, it needs to be enclosed, outside, and safe.
So far I have
- 650x 18650 cells
- 2x ZB2L3 Capacity Tester (will procure more unless there are other recommendations)
- 10x TP4056 charger
- 8 bay commercial 18650 battery charger
- Used power supply from PC that I will be converting over to a bench power supply for charging
-PMW charge Controler (may sourceMPPT charge controller, been using this w/ a lead-acid system for a few years
- 2x 1500W 24VDC->110VAC inverters (may sell one-off to fund project components)
-6x solar panels (50W/6VDC each) Can buy more at 20/unit
- A case that I may use to house the project (old ammo case)
Need to get
- BMS
-Wire,fuses, connections, etc.
- Battery holders, fuses, etc
- Rack for solar array to mount on flat roof
I am still watching youtube videos, and reading the forum. I know this is a bit early to have a post like this but I wanted to put something out there. Plus would love any input if I am totally off track.
If this is in the wrong section, sorry I will delete and repost.
