Hope this movie will sort of show how easy it was for me to wire this Taylor Dunn Electric Car (EV-electric vehicle), itself run by six 12 Volt each, true deep cycle batteries. They are connected by thick stranded wires about 10 inches long, which any golf cart dealership can custom make for you (cheaper), or you can order them online I suppose. Welding shops are great sources for heavy duty electrical cables.
I hope I’ve explained how the solar PV (photovoltaic, dang it google spell check; the word, photovoltaic, is gonna triumph over the needlesly long, separated form goog wants, “photo-voltaic”) gets wired the same way, in SIERIES, as opposed to parallel.
Sieries connections between batteries, or PV panels (“modules” they are called in the trade) go from positive to negative and negative to positive, yielding double the voltage output.
For example, if all six, 6 volt batteries from a golf cart battery bank, were wired in parallel, hooking together positive to positive terminals six times, the out put would still only be 12 volts; sieries gets you a 36 volt output, or 6 volts X 6 batteries = 36 Volts.
This Taylor Dunn warehouse type EV, is like almost all golf carts, 36 volt DC current run. the “Neighborhood Electric Vehicles too function, you just add more batteries and panels is all. Or if they get wierd, install a voltage regulator-controller. Once you own the car paid up, they can’t stop you from altering the thing any way you want.
Banks don’t control the laws of electricity, or physics, and God said let there be light, and said it was good.
I’ve changed the batteries three times in the last 13 years, at cost of about $1,500. But it was costing me $40 per month to charge the truck on the So Cal Edison Electric grid, and I can proove this by the way I switched over abruptly from the grid to the current solar charging.
The three Unisolar modules, now I think called “Olvonics,” owned by General Electric, are 13 years old and are outputting the exact amount of current they did when I bought them. They are a high quality amorphous silicone type, which are rugged as hell, been blown up into the air, then come smashing down upon the nails holding them, look dented, but yet there’s no function loss!
You know you can buy panels which are bullet proof? The ammo just passes through the mesh-like PV substrate like nothin’s there!
