Solar farm control board

Solar farm control board Video Clips. Duration : 9.28 Mins.


The partially finished solar farm control station. There is still a lot more that needs to be done to the system, but in its present state it will still work as a source of emergency electricity. Note the lack of grid tie inverters. Off grid solar systems like this are the only practical form of photovoltaic electricity generation. Grid tie solar is hideously expensive and unreliable. Solar needs a means of storing electricity in order to be reliable, and such things are only viable in small scale PV systems. The battery bank in this video cost about 0 and weighs in the neighborhood of 400lbs. it stores a whopping EIGHT KILOWATTHOURS of energy.
