Solar power system upgrade/repair in the storage cave (2024.11.05)

in STEMGeeks3 months ago

A few upgrades after I do not even know how many months.

Yesterday (on 2024.11.04) we started testing our new 230 Volt Solar power system.

It has new cables, new wires, new battery clips, etc.

The 12 Volt<>230 Volt inverter is the same as before (Islanders Series Islander-IXS 1000).

So far so good.

Looks like currently it has properly working equipment/components.

One of the power extension cords got a new shelf.

The shelf has a nice, antique-like style. Maybe it is really antique. I had a similar designed shelf in the past for a short time in Hungary for my Yaesu FT-450D radioamateur transceiver.

The new cable is on the left side of the entrance of the storage. The old cable(s) is/are currently still on the right side.

Yesterday afternoon evening we tested the new system with phone, tablet and laptop charging.

Today we test it with a refrigerator, which has a freezer too.

The solar power system is still not completed in its current form.

There will be additional upgrades and repairs in the future.

I will write about the experiences and the upgrades in the near future.
