Marshal Prolapse posted:Is that real? He doesn’t quite strike me as a smart person. You don't need to be terribly smart to set up solar. You just need to be able to follow directions. Also understand electric code if you intend for it to be insurable. Doesn't look like 60kw of storage to me but I've never seen a tesla battery up close. E: if you're going to buy a Taurus, don't. But if you do, the revolvers are at least drop safe. CRUSTY MINGE fucked around with this message at 15:02 on Sep 2, 2022 |

A.o.D. posted:It's a car battery, so obviously it handles 1.21 jiggawatts. I think teslas come with 60-80kw packs. A 60kw would be roughly 6 of the 10kw powerwalls. The flux capacitor was what made 1.21 jiggawatts, the delorean never had the ability to store that capacity.

Defenestrategy posted:If I saw that kind of wiring and storage job hooked up to a large battery I would run the gently caress out of the room. Yeah, it's pretty goddamn ugly. This is my friend's rack with 10kw of battery in it. The rack can hold 30kw.  His transformer and third battery arrived this week, so we're either going to have his power working next week, or his shed will burn down.

M_Gargantua posted:Thats about 100kwh of battery, so yeah, 6 or 7 powerwalls worth of capacity, just in a very thermally unstable stack. Normally you'd have the flat side of the rectangles exposed to air cooling. So you can't pull EV level of wattage but as long as it doesn't overheat you still get the full capacity. Anyway, if your house is drawing 60kW you've got something on fire. That would be equivalent to maxing out a 250A/240V service in north America. Powerwalls are/were available in 6kw or 10kw. So it's about 60kw, or what a standard tesla car battery was from last decade. Not sure if it's actually 80kw with only 60kw unlocked or is just a 60kw alone. The average US household uses 30kw a day. I use 7kw, my friend uses less than 3kw right now on the 12v SLA setup currently running the house. As long as the rack is in a climate controlled space, he shouldn't have any heat concerns, really. They can be close to each other, you just have to add supplemental air flow if it gets above 80ish in the area of the rack. It's typically suggested that you want 3 days of power storage, so larger banks are common, but they come down to the load you draw. If he's swinging average usage, he has 2 days of battery capacity. 17kw of panels is nuts, but you're only supposed to expect 4 hours a day of sunlight and typically want your panels to overproduce a little. You can set up extra draws, like fans that kick on when you reach 99% capacity, to avoid damaging the storage or inverter/controller. I really need to figure out what kind of certification I need to work on solar.

A.o.D. posted:I have some thoughts about forced air ventilation and cabinet clearance, but I'm willing to bet no one involved gives a flying gently caress what I think, so I'll just shut up. My friend's rack isn't fully set in place yet, the 12v is still hooked up to the left. The rack will be offset about a foot from the wall. Besides, it's sitting on shingles. We're more concerned with insulation for the shed in the winter, when it can get down to -40°. The solution we're working out now is using seedling heat mats between the batteries that can kick on based on a temp sensor and draw 20w/hr. Cooling will be a concern, but it topped out at like, 92°F here this summer. A box fan will probably suffice. We ran 50 feet of 1/0 cables for those batteries through buried and crawlspace hung 2" conduit to the utility room. Inverter can only pull about 40 amps so it's a little overkill.

M_Gargantua posted:You're confusing kW (power) vs kWh (energy). A house may pull 30kWh a day, but will often have a load of 1-2kW. Start running dryers/ovens/toasters/microwaves/AC and that number spikes up temporarily. So you need batteries + inverters with the kW capacity to run your large appliances but you want the kWh capacity of the battery to last sufficiently between solar cycles. In a properly configured solar setup your controller should shift the cell power point toward open-circuit rather than turning on dummy loads, but scheduling heavy power consumer's like AC for when your battery is already at full charge is a smart way to get maximum utilization out of the solar irradiance of your array. Yeah I really need to hit some books if I ever daydream about the idea of maybe looking into certs for it.

A.o.D. posted:I work at a facility that has roughly 150 network cabinets, of which at least half have UPSs for voip service. That photo depicts an area that probably isn't climate controlled and has poor access to the back side of the rack space. As was previously stated, that's just a temporary location while the final installation gets sorted, but I was concerned about that setup being a permanent fixture. You're right that it's not climate controlled. However, it's at 7500ft of elevation, heat isn't a huge problem here, yet. If needed, we can put a $300 amazon air conditioner in that shed next summer, but concern for climate right now is on the cold end. My friend wants to put that rack on casters but hasn't ordered any with at least 750 pound ratings yet. Ideally he'll have a few feet to roll it around when it's finished.

Yeah, the fire hazard reasoning is why it's in a shed 20 feet from the house. On a concrete slab. It took weeks for me to convince him to not put it in the house.

Something I was thinking about, because it's BBC time on the old NPR station. Biden has already said he's going to QE2s funeral. I can't wait to see a picture of Biden, Obama, Bush and the Clintons hanging out in London while Trump has all manner of feds up his rear end. I can't wait for the butthurt bullshit he spouts at a rally after the old lady is entombed.
