The Off Grid Tiny House: My First Solar Power Setup
<html>
<p>Hey Guys Its Rob from The Off Grid Tiny House</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Today I wanted to give you guys a first look at an upcoming video I have scheduled for my you tube channel. It is not yet released to the public so you guys get to see this information and pictures first. So lets get into it.</p>
<p>So this is the charge controller I will be picking up recommend to me by a friend who is way smarter into solar then I am and he has this one as well.</p>
<p>MISOL EPSOLAR 60A MPPT solar regulator, 12V 24V 36V 48V auto recognition, MPPT solar charge controller&nbsp;</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;MPPT Rated continuous charging current 60A</p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LCD display</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Communication connection to PC (monitor by PC)</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12V/24V/36V/48V system voltage auto work (remark: every time start up the controller, system voltage automatically identified, do not need your any operation or setting)</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Including in the package as below:</p>
<p>1.MPPT solar regulator 60A:1 unit</p>

<p>Okay ! So Thats just the specs on the charge controller. I will have a string of 6-100 watt poly-crystalline solar panels in series connection feeding this charge controller. They will feed at a high voltage and then convert that voltage down to 12 volts. This way I should be comfortable running my loads in the winter months.</p>
<p>Here is a video showing the picture of what it will look like in parallel which i will no longer be doing. But at least you will have the picture hopefully.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Here is the battery I will be powering with that charge controllers and solar panels...</p>
<p>Battery &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;	Made of 4 pcs LiFeMnPO4 Prismatic Module: 3.2V 100Ah in 4S configuration with Aluminum Panel, Nylon handle &amp; Plastic Cover on the top</p>
<p>Voltage 	12.8 V (working) &nbsp;&nbsp;15.2 V (peak) &nbsp;10.0 V ( cut-off)</p>
<p>Capacity 	100Ah (1280Wh)</p>
<p>Cycle life 	&gt;1000 cycles (80% of initial capacity @ 0.2C rate, IEC Standard)</p>
<p>Prewired 	</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Charging/Discharging terminals : 9" long 6 AWG open end wires</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Red = Positive, Black = Negative&nbsp;</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Protection 	</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1x &nbsp;PCM (100A limited) installed with the &nbsp;battery pack and protects the battery from</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Overcharge (&gt; 15.6 V)</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Over discharge &nbsp;(&lt;8.0 V)</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Over drain ( &gt;100 Amp)</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Short circuits</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Must wait min of 30 minutes after battery is fully charged to allow the pcm to perform balance function on all the cells within the pack. &nbsp;</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Energy Density 	94.81Wh/kg&nbsp;</p>
<p>Max. Continous Charging rate 	100A , limited by PCM</p>
<p>Max. Continous Discharging Rate 	100A, limited by PCM&nbsp;</p>
<p>Dimensions(LxWxH) 	285mm(11.2") x 140mm(5.5")X300mm(12") &nbsp;</p>
<p>Weight 	13.5 Kg (29.8 lbs )</p>
