Hi all,
just a few words to introduce myself: My name is Oliver, I live somewhere in the middle of Germany and I'm working on my solar powered home for about 1 year now. What I have achieved so far:
+ ~3KWp with a mix of about 30 mono- and polycristalline modules
+ 940Ah battery capacity (8 lead-acid solar batteries)
+ 2 solar chargers, max. 50A
+ 3000W converter with automatic battery/grid switching
+ self-made data logging (arduino to mySQL database, web-interface, DIY mobile display with ESP8266)
+ reduced my power bill for about 500 compared to last year :mrgreen:
(will add some pics later)
Since a few weeks, I'm collecting laptop batteries, harvesting cells and watching videos ;-) Thanks a lot for yours, Pete, very interesting, I learned a lot And also a great idea to open this board So, I just started my diy powerwall project and hopefully will have time to share my experiences.
Have sun
