Re: Does a battery/inverter shed require air conditioning?

With the glass panel heater I can monitor the shed temperature over the home network and using the Fox app I can also view the battery temperature. It'll be a see how it goes with regard to heating as I'm sure there will be a couple of test ground nights in the Autumn period before we enter the ...

Re: Does a battery/inverter shed require air conditioning?

The shed is uninsulated so internal temperature, you'd assume, will be closely following the outside ambient conditions. If anyone has experience of electric greenhouse heaters which seem to range from 60W to 2Kw units then that'd be useful to share. Otherwise I'll likely elect to go for a 1Kw glass ...

Re: Off grid setup with Generator backup supply

That is reassuring to be told it'll revert automatically to seeking out the solar input when the mains voltage is zero. I just need to build a somewhat secure generator enclosure as that is an expensive piece of kit to have sitting outside unsecured. I've looked online for suitable options and they ...

Re: Does a battery/inverter shed require air conditioning?

To provide some feedback into this conundrum. My set up has now been running for 2 weeks and being new, it does get looked in on often using the Fox and TIGO cloud apps to see what is happening. The battery/inverter shed does come with its own venting louvres. Regarding the battery operating ...

Re: Off grid setup with Generator backup supply

Thanks Dave for your advice. I have wired up the generator input line on the opposite side to the battery shed consumer unit (which is there to feed mains AC to two the tracker controllers). The working set up today is in EPS off grid with no mains tie in at all and no ability (no cable feed) for ...

Off grid setup with Generator backup supply

I have installed a Fox 8Kwh hybrid inverter with a 20Kw battery cube tied to 8Kwh solar panels to generate and store power to my home. The system is set up on self use as off grid and working well. I wish to add a generator backup for when the solar generation is insufficient to restore the battery ...

Does a battery/inverter shed require air conditioning?

I am planning a DIY solar setup that will have a 6'X6' battery and inverter shed 30m from the house. For added anti theft security, this will be a metal shed. My question is should I install and air conditioning unit into the shed to keep things cool in the Summer? I could buy a mobile AC unit for ...
