math problem can any one figure it out

[arkansaspiper]

so qestion is how much can 10kw of electricity run for 1 kw hr

 

[Blackhorse]

How much can it run? I don’t understand the question.

The easiest way to illustrate a kilowatt hour is to use the example of a 100 watt lightbulb:

One kilowatt hour of energy is equal to 1,000 watt hours or the equivalent of lighting a 100 watt light bulb for 10 hours.

(100 watts x 10 hours = 1,000 watt‐hours = 1 kWh).

You should be able to expand that to 10 kw by saying it would light the 100 watt bulb for 100 hours...or ten 100 watt bulbs for 10 hours.

im trying to size a solor kit so i wanna know how many kilowatt hours is have and i wanna try to figure out appliances and start to figure out wattages on things and start to figure out what i can and how much i can piwer with it

 

[Blackhorse]

So you’ll be putting the power into storage batteries, right? That seems to be the important link.

 

[arkansaspiper]

ya

 

[Blackhorse]

So what and how much you can run depends on your storage capacity and how much flow you have from the battery to your home electrical system.

If this stuff isn’t set up right your whole place could go up like a phosphorus tip match! You need guys with hard knowledge advising you on this Arky...not us.

im just getting adcise nothing more

And let's not upgrade to "He's dead, Jim"

 

[arkansaspiper]

i thought some one on there might know

 

[Thistleoak]

Black Horse is right Arky, you're basically charging a huge capacitor, one wrong move and A.) You burn your house down. B.) You get zapped bad enough to make your heart explode and become soup. Or C.) You get zapped bad enough to make your heart explode and become soup while you stay grounded resulting in burning your house down. My brother in law is an electrician I'll ask his thoughts for you.

 

[arkansaspiper]

heart soup yum and ya i get it buttt.... sumthings gotta kill ya right oh ita a joke or is it. but ill prolly get a pro to fo it just looking for ideas advise so me.one might km ow something

I could swear we have discussed this at length Trav.

It's not a matter of panels, or their power, it's a matter of you're bank, I.e., series of batteries and capacity of your converter/inverter. You also want a charge regulator and shunt for when your system has reached capacity. Also,you need to mindful of your sine wave. Most inverters you can grab off the rack are square sine. That can work in a pinch, but your appliances and such will want a 'wave'. They are gentler and what your home electrical systems are designed for. Think alternating current, like analog recordings vrs digital.

When you decide on a system, you want to know if you plan on a 24 volt or 12 volt system. That will determine the type of inverter and power delivery system you wish to employ.

Might I suggest you consult any numbers of solar power retailers in your area to give you a free appraisal. Yes, they will want to sell you theirs. You might want to entertain that thought rather than blow yourself up. Each to their gifts, mi amigo!

 

[arkansaspiper]

are you running on solor ozzy i am also looking at installimg some water turbines for power so solor and water power and ram pumps to haul my water maby 2 or 3 ram pumps

My neighbor down the street put his house on full solar power last year and the folks that he got to do the install work and who he bought his equipment from did all the numbers for him. Check with the folks that your buying your panels from and see what they can do number wise for you. :twisted: :twisted:

Yes. And look forward to seeing the first warm days of Spring, 2018.

ya summer is great for solor but the watee turbines charge tge system in winter and cloudy days
