Labs Part Three"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><strong>LARGE SYSTEM INSTALLATION<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the third instalment of the rotating labs that we teach the students, we step through with them how to install a <strong>Large solar electric system<\/strong>.\u00a0 In our designs of systems we make a Small, a Medium and a Large.\u00a0 The Small system\u00a0uses a smaller fuse box, smaller inverter and smaller battery charger.\u00a0 This system is made for a single or just a couple that wants to live as simple as possible.\u00a0 With the Medium and Large systems, the fuse box is larger but the same in both systems.\u00a0 The biggest difference is the number of charge controllers (what controls the charge coming in from the solar panels going to the batteries), the number of solar panels and the number of batteries.\u00a0 Both of these systems use a larger inverter\/charger to provide AC power and charge the batteries from a generator if needed.\u00a0 With all these systems they are designed for the user to be completely OFF GRID.\u00a0 Where we work in remote locations we need this feature of a stand alone system.\u00a0 Yet they are not just a system that will run a few lights.\u00a0 These systems will run a complete house hold of 5 or more people without any issues.\u00a0 It is very similar to living here in North America but with the user being more aware of how much power\u00a0they are using because\u00a0they are the ones producing it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/ernest-jones\/files\/2018\/02\/IMG_5774.jpg\" rel=\"attachment
