How did i come up with 300.
Solar panel big enough to run a dehumidifier.
We started off with one 100 watt panel.
It ll take darned big array of solar panels to run a dehumidifier.
If you don t have enough battery capacity you run out of power and need to fire up the backup generator.
We offer off grid packages complete with solar panels racking cable and a power center.
We currently have 300 watts of solar panels on the roof.
So you are going to need a total wattage of 300 combined solar panels.
So basically 5w will distill you about a drop each day and will further heat the air.
For this example if you are using 404 kwh per year that is 1 11 kwh per day.
The incorporated led light is a noteworthy addition that can double as a flashlight or a steady sos strobe light in case of an emergency.
We then took 11 000 kwh and divided it by the respective ratios and then divided that number by 250 the typical panel wattage.
You multiply the combined wattage of the solar panels by the number of hours sunlight they will.
In order to find a range for number of solar panels we compared arizona and maine s solar panel production ratios 1 31 and 1 61 the highest and lowest in the u s.
In seattle you d need a 4 75 kw.
Todd built his own 3 kw solar system to power his northern california home where he lives off the grid with his wife and children.
The coach and chassis electrical systems on our coach are completely separate.
Todd and the rest of the wholesale solar team are here to answer any questions you have about designing a system that will fit your needs.
These are run through the factory installed combiner and are integrated through a 40 amp solar charge controller from zamp.
To provide about 14 5 kwh of electricity each day in arizona you d need a 3kw solar installation or a system with about 12 solar panels.
Ambient temperature heat or cold has a big impact on battery performance and capacity.
Lastly you will need the solar panels to keep the battery charged.
