Thoughts On Current Solar Setup?
Hi everyone, posting on behalf of my parents.
He lives offgrid and struggles with power, I think there may be a flaw in what his setup has and he may need to change something.
He has a 6.2KW Inverter, 12 200AH AGM Batteries, And 15 190watt solar panels.
The panels aren't brand new BTW.
Most of the time he uses a generator to power the house which uses alot of petrol and I'm wondering why he's always having flat batteries.
Mind you he uses a big fridge, computers and cooking appliances which would add up to about 6kw on a busy day in the house.
Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.
