In order to get the most out of your deep cycle battery, you
must not let it discharge to below 50% of it's capacity. By letting it go below
50% it reduces the life span of the battery.
These batteries are rated in Ampere Hours (Ah) and it
includes a discharge rate in Hours. This is the amount of current that solar power grid
tie inverter can provide over a certain number of hours.
A 100 Ah batter with a 100 hour rate will supply 100 Ah over
100 hours. This is 1A per hour for 100 hours. This can also equate to 5A per
hour for 20 hours.
Power Inverters
Now that we've got the power stored in the batteries, we
need a way to use it in our every day lives. Batteries can provide stored
electricity as Direct Current (DC). Our every day appliances in the house make
use of Alternating Current (AC). Thus we need a way to convert it from DC to AC
so that we can use it.
That is where Inverters come into play. The one that is
recommended is the True Sine Wave Inverter, which provides AC power that is
basically identical to the fc
solar power we receive from Eskom.
Inverters are rated by the amount of AC power they can
supply continuously.
Now that I've explained all the above, you might have a
better understanding of what a solar power system is. Let's have a look at how
you would go about sizing your installation requirements.
