Solar System Installation FAQs

 What is the minimum tools Ill need?
The primary elements required to provide electricity from the solar are : One or more Solar Panels, a Charger Controller, a Power Inverter, and of course, Batteries.
Take a have a look at a easy animation of the entirese components working collectively. This provides you with an overview of the minimum gear wanted for a solar energyed alternative vitality device.
Solar Panels
How many Solar Panels will I need? This will depend on the quantity of power in watts that you simplyr appliances use.
How do I mount my Solar Panels? The most straightforward mount is a ground primarily based body angled towards the solar. A step up is a raised mount that has an adjustable perspective to permit for the altering perspective of the sun in the sky thru-out the year. The most productive (and most expensive) is a tracking mount that practices the sun in its arc across the sky on a day with the aid of day basis.
How a lot do Solar Panels value & what is their predicted LifeSpan? Depending on dimension, predict to pay between $4.00 and $5.00 per watt. A typical a hundred watt sun panel will cost about $400 to $450. The just right new is they are moderately durable & which you could expect 25 12 monthss or extra of carrier.
Is it authentic that a Solar Panel wont produce as a lot power because it took to manufacture it? Many research had been performed on this subject and the answer is NO. It is an entire delusion that a sun panel won't ever produce as so much vitality over its helpful life to equal the vitality that it took to fabricate it. This query may have had some truth to it three0 12 monthss in the past, but not nowadays. Thats simply the electrical company speaking...
Charge Controllers
Why do I desire a Charge Controller? A charge controller regulates the charge on the batteries, giving full energy when vital and decreasing the charge as the batteries require much less. This is vital for primarytaining the health of the batteries.
What is a PWM cost managementler? PWM stands for Pulse Width Modulation and is basically a 3 stage charging cycle sort managementler. Most respectable cost controllers use this method.
What is a MPPT charge managementler? MPPT stands for Maximum Power Point Tracking. This is a newer type controller that not simplest provides multi-stage charging, nevertheless it also delivers more power to the batteries through matching the battery voltage to the solar panel voltage. This makes them more efficient especially in various stages of solarshine. They additionally cost a little bit extra.
Power Inverters
Do I want a Power Inverter? Actually, no. This is the handiest component of a sunlight power system that's no longer absolutely required. However, in case you dont use one, you will now not have a hundred and twenty volts AC and will have use battery energy by myself. This might be perfect in a small RV or cabin, however most people want to use normal AC appliances.
Whats the variation between 12, 24, and forty eight volt inverters? This refers back to the enter voltage from the battery financial institution. The primary consideration is that at higher voltages the current is less as a technique to use smaller wires between your sunlight panel array and your battery bank. Of direction, when you decide on a gadget voltage, the Solar Panels, Inverter, and Battery Bank all need to use the identical voltage.
What is a Grid Tie inverter? If you're linked to standard Utility company power and simply want to add some Free Sun Power electricity to reduce your electrical bill and you don't want a impartial system, it's imaginable that a Grid Tie inverter will fit your needs. With a Grid Tie inverter, whatever electricality that your sun panels produce will reduce the amount provided by way of the energy firm, in effect lowering your invoice. For this setup a huge battery financial institution to store the facility for later use is not needed. Unless you've gotten time-honored energy company outages, you're going to now not desire any batteries at all.
Whats the adaptation between a proper sine wave inverter and a modified sine wave inverter? The AC sine wave of a real sine wave inverter is only as excellent as the utility firms AC energy. A modified sine wave inverter shouldn't be as close, but remains to be fairly enough normally. Certain motor control circuits dont just like the modified wave. Modified sine wave inverters are additionally a lot cheaper.
Storage Batteries
What is supposed with the help of Flooded batteries? Flooded batteries have those little caps on high and you must add water (distilled) to them every now and then as the charging process boils off some of the water as hydrogen fuel. They will have to be installed in vented bins and not used indoors or close to spark or flame.
What is a sealed battery? Not to be at a loss for phrases with repairs free, a sealed battery has no carrier caps and water isn't introduced. They also do no longer out gasoline all the means in which via the charging course of and are secure to use indoors. This regularly implies that the temperature of the battery shall be more constant which translates into more efficient operation.
Should I use Flooded or Sealed batteries? While you can securely use sealed types indoors, they're dearer than flooded sorts. So, cost factors and the place you plan to locate the batteries are the principle figuring out factors.
AC Generators
Why must I even have a Generator if I have Solar Panels? When provideing your individual power, its a excellent suggestion to have back-up power for 2 causes. Number one is that in the winter (depending for your location) you are going to ceaselessly have too many days of low sunshine to supply your entire electrical desires from the solar panels by myself. Reason quantity 2 is that you will most doubtless have some gear that uses great amounts of energy however is only needed one of the time. (say filling a water tank with a big pump)
How lengthy does the generator must run? During dangerous weather, you will must supply the majority of your battery charging with the generator. For a medium measurementd machine, without a solarshine in any respect, an hour per day will frequently present sufficient of a cost for the batteries. A massive device may just require up to 2 hours. If youre working the generator for more than 2 hours per day, you most certainly have dimensiond your battery financial institution too small.
What size Generator will have to I use & what do they cost? Generally conversing, except for extraordinarily small or very massive programs, a 5000 watt generator should do effectively. These differ in worth, but a primary edition will run around $500 to $700.
What is the minimal gear Ill need?
The fundamental parts required to produce electricity from the solar are : One or more Solar Panels, a Charger Controller, a Power Inverter, and of course, Batteries.
Take a take a glance at a simple animation of all these elements working together. This gives you an outline of the minimum tools wanted for a sunlight powered alternative power gadget.
Correct Cables & Wire sizes
Why is wire size so necessary? In order to acquire maximum energy switch out of your solar panels, the wires operating to your equipment heart should be sufficiently big too raise the present. Also, if they are too small, it is that which you can imagine they might overheat & even trap hearth. Just like water in a pipe, if the pipe is simply too small, then not enough water can go through it. And, when you attempt to drive the water via with extra stress, the pipe can begin leaking from the excess pressure identical to the wire might begin to overheat with too much current passing thru it.
What about the the rest of the system? The wires between the Charge Controller and the Batteries may also be the identical dimension as the wires from the Solar Panels. However, all of the batteries and the inverter have to be linked with very huge cables. These cables will on a standard basis be 2/0 or 4/0 gauge cables like the huge battery cables in automotives. The measurement of your battery bank and that inverter will resolve the minimal measurement and will have to be coated in detail in the instructions that come with your inverter.

5 Zone Alarm System

This is a complete alarm system with 5 independent zones suitable for a small office or home environment. It uses just 3 CMOS ICs and features a timed entry / exit zone, 4 immediate zones and a panic button. There are indicators for each zone a "system armed" indicator. The schematic is as follows:


5 zone alarm


Circuit Notes
Each zone uses a normally closed contact. These can be micro switches or standard alarm contacts (usually reed switches). Suitable switches can be bought from alarm shops and concealed in door frames, or window ledges.

Zone 1 is a timed zone which must be used as the entry and exit point of the building. Zones 2 - 5 are immediate zones, which will trigger the alarm with no delay. Some RF immunity is provided for long wiring runs by the input capacitors, C1-C5. C7 and R14 also form a transient suppressor. The key switch acts as the Set/Unset and Reset switch. For good security this should be the metal type with a key.

Operation
At switch on, C6 will charge via R11, this acts as the exit delay and is set to around 30 seconds. This can be altered by varying either C6 or R11. Once the timing period has elapsed, LED6 will light, meaning the system is armed. LED6 may be mounted externally (at the bell box for example) and provides visual indication that the system has set. Once set any contact that opens will trigger the alarm, including Zone 1. To prevent triggering the alarm on entry to the building, the concealed re-entry switch must be operated. This will discharge C6 and start the entry timer. The re-entry switch could be a concealed reed switch, located anywhere in a door frame, but invisible to the eye. The panic switch, when pressed, will trigger the alarm when set. Relay contacts RLA1 provide the latch, RLA2 operate the siren or buzzer.

How to Build a Pyro ignition Circuit Electronic Pyro Igniter system

The
following conversation was made by Mr.Tom and me regarding the circuit
idea of a pyro-iginition system. I was asked to design
the particular circuit idea by Mr.Tom in Fiverr.com.

The discussion explains the details of his requirement and how it was almost fulfilled by me
I was wondering if you could design me a system for a simple pyrotechnic firing system. 
An input trigger would (maybe 5-12v) pulse would switch on que1, another pulse would switch cue2 (binary counter). 


A
total of 16 channels (cues), each cue would be fired with from mosfet
pair. Ideally control circuit would have independent power supply to
power to cues. 


It
would also be nice to have a timer which could on pulse fire each cue
in sequence e.g. cue1 wait 1 second cue 2 wait 1 second cue3 etc. 


Either this of some kind of programmable pic (picaxe etc) so the functionality can be changed. 


Kind regards 
Tom


Hi Tom,
I
can design the control circuit along with the timer, however Im
interested to know what would be connected to the mosfet outputs,
because that looks the difficult part if Im required to set up those.
Thanks
Swagatam
Heres the pyro-ignition control circuit:


Next up is the mosfet output stage:




Hi Swagatam,
I dont seem to be able to get the control circuit to work.
Where does the external trigger connect to, if i connect a ground just before R5 can I use this as the trigger?
Thanks
Tom

Hi Tom,
The circuit starts sequencing the moment power is switched ON, so the "power ON" switch itself acts as the external trigger.
When
power is switched OFF, the circuit resets and comes to its original
state, so that when power is switched ON again, the cycle can repeats.
Thanks,
Swagatam

Hi Swagatam,
Thats not what I asked for.
The external trigger should either start the timing sequence if selected or step through each output on each trigger input.
Referringback to the conversation
"
Function 1
Trigger -> Cue 1 fires (stays on for 100ms to ignite firework)
Trigger -> Cue 2 fires (stays on for 100ms)
Function 2
Trigger -> Fires all Cues in sequence (cue 1,2,3 etc) from a internal modifiable timer
Function 3
The
circuit diagram also has continuity test for each cue, this should be a
low enough current as not to fire igniter this is to be displayed
through an led on each cue.
"
Regards
Tom




Hi Swagatam,
Ive attached a circuit diagram of an open source wireless firing system, the files can be found here
http://code.google.com/p/openpyro/downloads/list.
The system will fire these http://www.category4.co.uk/igniters/technical/igniters.php
If
youre just using a binary counter I think you might need to double the
stages(bits) and pulse the clock after 100ms to turn off the mosfets in
case of short circuit.
If you could replicate attached circuit without the wireless this would be fantastic. Ill pay for extra gigs if needed.
Thanks
Tom

Hi Tom,
From the above description what I understood is that the particular fireworks needs to be ignited in some sequence.
The
fuses would be loaded across the relevant mosfets and the triggering
timing would be such that the mosfets are switched only for some
fraction of a second, just enough to ignite the fireworks and then shut
off.
The sequence will go on repeating until the last mosfet is fired...am I correct?
If
my interpretation is right then I can go ahead with the circuit and
design it using ordinary discrete components, no need of any
microcontrollers.
Thanks,
Swagatam

Yes,
Function 1
Trigger -> Cue 1 fires (stays on for 100ms to ignite firework)
Trigger -> Cue 2 fires (stays on for 100ms)
Function 2
Trigger -> Fires all Cues in sequence (cue 1,2,3 etc) from a internal modifiable timer
Function 3
The
circuit diagram also has continuity test for each cue, this should be a
low enough current as not to fire igniter this is to be displayed
through an led on each cue.
Could this led be also lit when the cue is fired.
Tom

OK, function1 refers to a manual triggering option in the circuit? right?

There should be power to the circuit at all times, when a plus trigger is applied to the system it should step.

Hi Tom,
In our circuit this can be done through a simpler modification, kindly view the attachment.
Pressing S1 initiates the sequencing at any instant and releasing it stops the process.
Thanks
Swagatam.

OK let me try an explain again.
The circuit is a stepper, each trigger pulse it receives progresses the binary counter on one.
So trigger +12 v, binary counter increases one.
Trigger again +12v, binary counter increases one again.
The trigger pulse it totally separate from this circuit and comes from another source.
Easy enough, just a binary counter and outputs.
I
also want another function to allow the first trigger pulse to start a
timer a clock the binary counter on its own. This time is variable. So
there would be a switch to allow you to access this mode. So binary
counter output 1 would feed back into the timer circuit if a switch was
closed.

Hi Tom,
Just have a look at this modification, I hope this one works as intended.
S2 is a SPDT switch, when positioned toward B, it responds to the pressing of S1 and steps with each trigger from S1.
When S2 is moved toward A, pressing S1 does the following things:
T1 and T2 instantly latches powering the timer IC 4060 via T2 and T3.
IC 4060 starts clocking the IC 4017 for the required actions.
Putting
S2 back to point B resets the circuit to its previous mode, that is to
the manual mode. However to reset the IC 4017, it will need to be
switched OFF and then switched ON again.
