Solar upgrade for the Casita
A friend of mine is installing a whole new system for the Casita's new owners. A couple from Austin bought the property earlier this year. Video coming soon. 85,92,75,0,B
It is a 48 volt system: twelve 230 watt panels - MPPT charge controller/inverter(with two 80 amp charge controllers and 6500 watt inverter) - Sixteen 3.2 volt/280 Ah lithium iron phosphate cells wired in series for 48 volts. Charge controller has built in wifi that provides real time charging data to a smartphone or android device.
Is this the Casita you built?
