How Do You Wire A Solar Powered House?
Wiring a solar powered house is not very difficult, and there are plenty of online tools that will help you with the project. However, there are many variables that need to be considered for your specific situation–what size and how many solar panels you are going to use, distance panels are from power source, power output voltage and solar panels amperage output are just some of the things to consider when taking on this task. Connect the solar panels to the charge controller. The charge controller helps to maintain a steady voltage across the system. Without this, a very hot day may fry your wiring. In this scenario, you are connecting two 4 amp solar panels to a charge controller that is 20 feet away. By doing the calculations via tools on the Internet, you’ll find that you need to use #10 gauge wire to accomplish this (see Resources below). Connect the power inverter. Use the largest cables you can. The amount of amperage needed to cross these wires can be very high. The power inv
