Many of the DIY projects here are proof of concept creations and maybe a little rough around the edges. These pages are not full instructions but serve as an inspiration and a starting point for you to adapt to your own use.
In today’s article, we explain the Battery Management System (BMS); in other words, what is a BMS and what is the purpose of using a BMS. A BMS usually controls below aspects of a battery – 1. Discharge voltage control. 2. Overcharge voltage control. And includes protection against short circuits. Sophisticated Battery Management Systems even […]
There are many types of batteries that are used for different purposes, but we only focus on the most used batteries. These are the batteries we currently use for solar projects. Deep Cycle Sealed Lead Acid Batteries for Off-Grid As the name implies, it is specially designed for Deep Cycle applications. These batteries have long […]
A solar Charger Controller manages the power that goes from the solar panel to the battery bank. This allows the batteries you use to safely charged during the day. It also stops battery power from flowing to the panels during night hours. There is also a separate output to get the current out of the […]
A solar panel is a device that converts solar energy into DC current. There are two types of panels. Polycrystalline Monocrystalline (mono panel) Most of these polycrystalline solar panel panels come in blue. It is comparatively less efficient but more resistant to temperature, suits even countries near the equator. The monocrystalline solar panel looks almost […]
Whenever you do something, you should think about safety. It is even the same with electricity. Here are some solar safety tips. What are the dangers that could occur while using off-grid? Short connection of Battery – A battery is something that stores energy. In normal use, we don’t exceed the current level mentioned in […]
