If interested in sections difficuilt te read the Solar Book will be a good option to buy.

CRITICAL PRE - PLANNING BEFORE WANTING TO GENERATE SOLAR (SUN) FOR ELECTRICITY:

Preferably before an accurate solar system design/quotation can be done; solar panels, charge controller, batteries, inverter etc please ensure that you have the exact, number of WATTh or AMPh; (because appliances wattages differ even if its the same brand...); (normally these indications are written on the back of appliances in Watt or Amp), and please also make sure you know how long you want to use these appliances for and when day/night (how many times ie: in a week) in order to identify a suitable system design (small picture above) based on the a formentioned fitting into your specific requirements because everybody doesnt consume the same amount of electricity (e.g at once) and it must be generated through alternative sources not through fossil feuls thats already generated;

THE BOOK SOLAR ALL ABOUT DISCUSSES THESE ALL AND MORE VISIT NECESSARY SECTION FOR DETAILS! 

 

(The above picture is for appliances (or applainces used in an energy saving manner)  which are made for solar ie: special fridges... sold at ie: Solar Man as explained throughout this website). VISIT EXEL CALCULATOR SECTION FOR MORE DETAILS!

The above and throughout is important because solar must be generatedif the sun shines its not already made through cheap fossil fuels which damages the planet. Please visit the t's section before requesting any quotation from Solar Man.

 

(PS: SOLAR MAN DOES NOT WANT THE ELECTRICITY BILL WE WANT THE EXACT WATTAGE / TOTAL USAGE TO WORK WITH!!)

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF BATTERIES WHERE ELECTRICAL ENERGY USAGE MUST BE PLANNED IN ACCORDANCE TO THE SUN/WIND.../(WHATEVER THE CASE) THIS IS WHY USAGE MANAGEMENT IS IMPERATIVE EVEN IF THERE IS LOTS OF IE: STORAGE POWER BECAUSE OF IE: CHARGING/DISCHARGING ASPECTS/RATES/COMBINED, BALANCES ETC!! CONTACT SOLAR MAN FOR MORE! SUSTAINABILITY TIPS! (ANYTHING CAN BE DONE WITH SOLAR AND STORED IN BATTERIES HOWEVER LOW WATTAGE APPLIANCES WILL RESULT IN LESS MONEY GIVEN OUT ON A SYSTEM AT SOLAR MAN WHICH WILL RUN/WORK MORE PRACTICALLY.)

For any information on our batteries we sell at Solar Man and / anything relating to linear lines...do not hesitate to contact us!!! 

(Prinsiples within solar; You can have a lot of batteries if it does not get charge and you use it will get flat, you can also have lots of panels, if it does not get sun it wont charge the batteries; for you to use electricity, do contact us regarding these and much more, there are other options also for days without sun ie: generator, differences output voltage and VOL, why batteries must be full when installing into controllers and also with regards to panels..., how much DC/AC power energy electricity lies within discharge and rate ranges in different batteries (depending on context), with energy coming in from DC / DC sources ETC, (batteries at peak , actual  power/rated power), (meanings of ie: w/h over/for 24/6h) signs and symptoms as to batteries getting flat (when...)which system/systems to choose in terms of design life of batteries depending on specific needs/recommendations/contexts...; which appliances are less eco friendly options, so the takeaway is; spare/save electricity spare/save the planet; not with staying on the grid but using solar (sun) correctly). (The amount of energy coming into charge batteries indicates how much electricity can be used, or then generator must be used to charge batteries if sun is not there and electricity is used, with sun/wind, as you use; the sun charges the batteries again, solar is always better because diesel and petrol is expensive, and not eco friendly, so this means use less electricity). Come to us here at Solar Man we will guide you and help you along the way)! Our batteries can fit nicely into racks! AFTER PURCHASING BATTERIES PLEASE FIRST CHARGE IT UP UNTIL IE: 14.5 VOLT ON 12 VOLT DIRECT CURRENT SYSTEM ONLY THEN START USAGE, HAVE A GOOD BATTERY CHARGER AC (CORRECT AMPERE/S) ALSO WHICH CAN CHARGE BATTERIES UP UNTILL IE: 14.7 VOLT ON 12 VOLT, NOT JUST IE: 14 VOLT...!For info on ie: problems like batteries that does not charge full..., total usage or wattage/d... min/max amount of batteries with regards to system voltages differences in @ and over / calculations contact SOLAR MAN. The book Solar All About discusses these on top and also charging batteries with DC and AC or combined sources complex calculations critical in aspects of overall system design life.Why normal car batteries could potensially not be good in a solar system, aspects like what gives charging indications regulator/panels/voltages/watts/amperes, why in certain cases more amps does not mean faster charging, high voltage notneccesary meaning thinner cables, different sizes batteries in 1 bank... why needing more batteries than panels in certain cases/vice versa relating to balance calculations..., max/min amount of batteries/strings diversely connected in relation to inverter aspects... how amount of batteries influences voltages needed for optimal functioning of system and vice versa this is critical info not a lot known about and system voltages in terms of charging... , (csb/cbs batteries/Victron battery monitors)...). (Normally what system can do depends on the sun and various different/diverse external factors for information as to how to plan power, recycling options regarding batteries...); THE BOOK SOLAR ALL ABOUT WILL EXPLAIN TO YOU ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW AND MORE!

(Wind turbines / wind generators (or in Afrikaans wissel rigters/wind genereerders/windlaaiers) need lots and lots of strong wind, generators need petrol/diesel, AC alternators are very expensive and gas is a scarce monthly expense, with almost every day of sun (and in some areas strong wind) in SA solar /(renewables) is/are the best bet/s!). Contact us for info on which joules per second for optimal current can be used at which windspeeds etc.

When doing designs relating to batteries know your stuff! 

SOLAR IS ALL ABOUT RESPONSIBLE USAGE IN ACCORDANCE TO THE SUN AND CAN PREFERABLY ONLY BE DESIGNED/QUOTED AFTER THORROUGH PRE pLaNNiNg AS EXPLAINED THROUGHOUT THIS SOLAR MAN WEBSITE!

Also when thinking about batteries think about context ie: one example of many could just be; ideal storage for batteries are -+25 celsuis, think of other factors also beyond imagination..., info on valve regulated lead acid batteries(VRLA), crystal plate / lead NEW technologies and various different absorbed glass matt technologies (A.G.M 60 kg) and UPS and standby applications..., with this said please keep the planet clean (by recycling them); batteries will! When going solar use less wattage because its all about saving without having to use cheap fossil feuls, solar is a change in lifestyle in comparison to just using power from cheap fossil feul, also planning is important becuase you would have to get accostomed to sun/wind and battery power. Be hands on and manage your solar system! Preferably Eco friendly electrical appliances are made to work of inverter batteries. Go eco be frenzy! When it comes to battery power, power must be ecofriendly. Know usage to manage system/s effectively.SOLAR MAN SELLS VERY GOOD BATTERIES WHICH ARE ECO AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY WITH HIGH DISCHARGE RATES AND SOME ARE NON SPILLIBLE.(Solar Man does not sell car batteries because it is not to be used in solar if you would like it to last!).
