more batteries...
Had to add 2 more batteries to the Casita solar to fulfill Big Bend Telephone's requirements (minimum of 800 Ah). They are coming tomorrow morning to hook up the equipment. Video tomorrow night. 79,86,47,0,B
These are used 147 Ah AGM batteries. They came from a government computer facility for battery backup in case of a power outage. They were $100 each. Total price for this 800 watt system including batteries was around $1800.
What kind of batteries are these? Lead acid I presume. How much ballpark is this solar system? Thanks.
