Off grid photo voltaic ability – 12V tension pump
Perfectly, this is my photo voltaic h2o tension pump set up and operating, despite the fact that I nonetheless have one insignificant leak on the high tension aspect of the pump to correct. On the initial night time, it got a decent work out, far too.

My eldest daughter came to check out for a few evenings and on Saturday night time we experienced a shower just about every and utilized the bathroom a pair of times just about every. On Sunday morning, in advance of the solar came up, the volt meter was nonetheless exhibiting twelve.8V.

In the coming weeks, I will consider to do a decent take a look at of the pump and batteries by disconnecting the photo voltaic panel to see how extensive I can operate the pump with out the voltage getting far too low.

If you haven’t observed my before films, this is a 12V DC tension pump managing from two outdated car batteries, which are charged by a 100W PV panel by means of a 20A MPPT charge controller.

The pump is pumping h2o from a one thousand gallon rainwater tank, which is fed by the carport. The rainwater from the household goes to a 24000 gallon (90000 litre) rainwater tank, which is at the moment full and I will be keeping that in reserve, just to top rated up the scaled-down tank if I operate quick of h2o.

I’m so amazed with this method that I’m also likely to operate some LED flood lights from it in the in the vicinity of upcoming.
