In this note, Wccsolar clears up all the doubts and questions that arise when we consider installing a solar kit or a photovoltaic energy kit.
Can I connect panels of any power in my kit? In principle you should know what battery system you will use for your solar kit, a 12v or 24v system so you can know what type of panels you can use solar panels designed at 12v or panels designed at 24v. Do not forget that there is the possibility of mixing panel voltage with batteries as long as you use an MPPT charge regulator (for more information, check our Solar Regulator section). If I have more batteries, will my solar installation work better? This is not always the case, both batteries and solar panels must be provided, since, if the charging capacity of the batteries is much higher than the amount of voltage it receives from the panels, the charging of the batteries will take longer to complete and the battery will continuously discharge without completing its own charge. Does any charge controller work with batteries in my solar kit? No, the choice of the regulator must be related to the type of battery and the loads in solar panels that will be connected to the system, since we know that it depends on the panels that it has, whether they are 12v or 24v and the type of battery system, both a system of 12v or 24v will define the type of charge regulator that works best.
With use do the batteries have some kind of memory? Batteries do not have a memory effect type, but with constant use problems such as sulfation can appear, which leads to them losing charge capacity and maintaining voltages, which can be reversible in some cases with the appropriate components. (The use of battery equalizers is recommended). An installation with solar panels must pay some type of tax No, an installation with panels is completely legal and no type of tax is paid. As long as the electricity is not sold to any other home, the only thing we have to do is comply with the low voltage regulations in the installation and that the materials must comply with the legitimacy. There are panels that produce energy at night These panels do not exist, even though there are panels that during full moon nights give us voltage, there will be no current intensity to use. Do solar panels produce power on cloudy days? Yes, even if the day is cloudy or with diffuse radiation, the solar panel receives irradiation and even if it does not produce 100% of its power, we can have between 10 and 20% production compared to a sunny day.
