How to properly connect solar panel to battery and inverter.
Commercially made solar panels over 50 watts have 10 gauge wires capable of handling up to 30 amps of current flow.
If you have a device that can draw a lot of amps like an inverter or battery charger you need to attach the wires directly to the battery terminals.
Be it as the main source of energy or as a back up to the popular power outages experienced on main grid power supplies.
The inverter will convert the dc current from the batteries to 110 volt ac current for use in the house.
Always connect your solar panels via a regulator.
While installing the solar panel you may face problems in connecting the solar panel to the battery.
As you see in the connection diagram at first the solar panel is connected to the solar charge controller and then a 24v battery is connected to the charge controller.
So you are saving the environment and your money too.
Solar energy is gaining popularity at an alarming rate.
By using the solar panel not only can you reduce your electricity bill but also air pollution.
Connect the battery bank to the input lugs of the inverter and then connect the inverter to the house panel.
Then connect the regulator to the 12 volt battery.
The output of the inverter is connected to ac loads like fans lights tv etc.
If you connect these panels in series there will be no increase in current flow so fusing is not required for this string.
Wiring diagram of solar panel with battery inverter charge controller and loads.
An inverter is connected to the battery.
In this case the battery wires and ac dc inverter will be safely disabled by the fuse.
Charge your 12v battery from a solar panel and have your backup powered.
We will learn how to connect solar panels to battery through an inverter to output ac current.
From here you can wire it directly to the inverter or to a busbar.
If the house panel is connected to the power grid the inverter can be programmed to sell excess power back to the power company.
