LARGE SYSTEM PROGRAMMING<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the fourth instalment of the rotating labs we teach the students how to program their solar electric system.\u00a0 Program<\/em>, what do you mean program?<\/em>\u00a0 Yes, I did mention in early posts that we keep our systems as “plug and play” as possible, but with all the different battery technology that is out there, we need to match our charge controllers (what controls the charge coming in from the batteries) and our battery charger\/inverter (what we use to charge our batteries as a “back up” just incase there is a lot of cloudy weather or high usage) to our batteries.<\/p>\n

When some hear the word “program<\/em>” they get scared, but with the system we use and the modified manual\u00a0that we use it is not hard at all.\u00a0 These devices have a lot of features that we would not use, so we shrunk the manual down\u00a0to what we use in an off grid location.\u00a0 The students get to come in and step through the modified manual and get the chance to “push buttons” and set up the system to their choice of batteries.\u00a0 Currently we have four different types of batteries that are recommended, so there will be slight differences in how each one is programed.\u00a0 Once they complete this lab, they are more at ease and even though there may still be some apprehension, the students say “I can do this, with the manual of course”.<\/p>\n
