Mazda 3.2 Bt 50 190000km 4th engine first turbo.

Chris after your explanation and the fact that the supplier of my equipment supply no warranty if I use a used battery bank I have call Solarnoob and cancel our deal for buying the batteries. On top of that my bakkie blew a turbo on Friday afternoon.

Thanks for the concern Chris. I am willing take that chance on his word.

Thanks for the replies. Yes panels will go up ontop off workshop. Batteries and inverter with back up generator will also be at workshop. I had test my voltage from workshop to home with the generator power and directly at the generator. Only 0.2 volts difference. I am willing to gamble with that. This weekend I will buy the second bank Troyan batteries from Solarnoob.

It is a 35 mm2 4 core armoured cable.

Hallo all Thank you for excepting me to your forum. I am from Kuruman and live of the power grid. Currently running a 12 kva generator for workshop and home. Run time approximately 5 ours a day up to full days depends on the amount of heavy welding needs to be done. On order now for my house is a 5 kva/4kw axpert mppt inverter 8x 6 volt Troyan t105 re batteries and 12 x 275 watt Canadian solar panels with all the bells and whistles needed for installation. I do have a 2.2 kw single face lister engine/ generator for house back up with the solar if needed. My budget does not allow any thing else at this stage so I will adapt my cosumption around the available solar instead off visa versa. My biggest concern is that the only way to get full sun for the panels is more than 100 meters from my house. Thick 3 phase cable is in place. I had to connect all 3 phases together to get power to db box in the house so that everything get power. What will the voltage drop effect be on that distance.
