I have a 4.3 cf apartment size fridge that we ran with two golf cart batteries (225ah) and 200 watts. It works well as long as you have 3-4 sunny days per week. The trouble is that with this setup it is hard to get an equalization charge in to keep the capacity at peak level. Adding a third panel for 300 watts work much better and allows for monthly maintenance.

The PCB came with the supercaps.

Sir,do u make biggest campaster battery the have load test , basitawan from Pakistan , Lahore , Askari 10,house 276b

Thanks for understanding the concept. Hopefully I'll make more videps soon

So can you hook batteries up to the capacitor bank

@@brandonfuller9484 Yup... and when you pull a lot of amps from a bank, the caps are the one getting the hit and not the cells

Hey Javier I tried to hook my batteries to my capacitor and the wire got real hot and started to burn do I need a protection board and I did use speaker wires

@@brandonfuller9484 how did tou connect it to the batteries? Are they supercaps? Did they have a protection board? The only reason it could get really hot is because the cells are discharging a lot of energy into them really fast or there's a short somewhere in the lines

500 farads?! Where did you get such a huge caps?

Amazon

6 2.7v500f in series/ parallel to get 12-16v only give you 83f. If you run 2 500f in parallel you get 1000f but 2.7v if in series you get 5.4v but 250uf @@Teknopottu

Exactly! You need batteries to run off at night, and the solar for daytime. Of course, the more batteries the better and longer run time. You can parallel connect the batteries and supercaps all the time too.

Use a bike crank generator

I need to find one

Hoy voy a estar por esa área

Super 🖒

I haven't got the change to make more videos but rest asure I will get back at these supercaps

Thanks for the tip

I believe trains used to huge super-capacitors May be they can used as energy storage banks?

You'll need a really big supercaps banks

You could put them in series but then you'll loose capacity on the supercaps

Yea

Thanks for your comments. Looking forward to see your results. The inverter was bought on amazon, here is the link: amzn.to/2SiAOVh

But the capacitors would definitely help on the surge current that is needed when starting some devices...

@@SolarizeYourLife like a soft start for an AC

Can add some more capacitors for night usage. Instead of batteries.

With the proper setup it will run the refrigerator during sunlight.

You know, i was thinking the same the other day. I'm just trying to figure out how to convert heat to electricity using off the shelves tech

@@JavierCamacho stirling engine is the obvious but I was thinking hot water or cooking depending on the amount of heat in sand. Sand pizza oven maybe 🤔

Capacitors have a very long lifespan. Their life cicles goes from 10,000 up to 500,000 and more. They are a great with solar panels and lowering the energy utility bill

Nope. Solar panels can damage the caps if connected directly because they can output voltages that are over the specs of the supercaps. You need a constant voltage from the panels and that's why the CC is for.

thanks much@@JavierCamacho

15v max voltage

You have battery modules with costs of the order of $200 per kWh and 5k to 20k cycles warranty...what is the function of a capacitor bank? Is it enhanced capture or storage? Get to this earlier in the presentation please

Did you watch the video?

Time... I've been working on other projects and I haven't got the time or the resources to revisit this setup. But to give you an idea of how useful it is, at the beginning of 2020 we got hit by many earthquakes. One of them shutdown the entire grid and at the time I didn't had a solar battery. I quickly took the supercaps and some panels and use it to run the fridge and the tv while I was putting together a battery using one of my kits. I'm looking forward to tackle this idea in the near future. Thanks for asking.

@@JavierCamacho Nice, thank you. Subscribed. Also, not very clear what all those custom 18650 are for, is it to replace solar batteries that are hard to get over there?

@@TheVedicWayChannel use to be hard to get them. Now, we partner up with battery Hookup and finding cells is not a problem anymore

Ok

Yup. With a bigger bank and more panels you can run a whole house during the day. Which means you don’t need a gas generator

That sounds like a great project...!!!

Fly a drone with supercaps and solar panels?

Hola, por favor Escríbeme vía email a affiboxapps@gmail.com y cuadramos

Es correcto. Los capacitores están diseñados para cargar bien rápido y descargar de igual forma. En el caso de los supercaps, se descargan mas lentos de lo normal. Jamas se pueden comparar con baterías pero si son útiles durante el día cuando se usan de esta forma.

That's right.

18650 are more than ok and maybe cheap lead acid

check about kilowatt labs

Stubblefield coils.

What?

Can you elaborate?

YES YOU CAN!!!! and here is the video I got the inspiration from kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rbGJnraoqK3JYKc.html

The way I see it is like this. When you want to use 200w of energy you need at least twice the amount of that in panels. But this is for running equipment non stop during the day. For tools that will be used for a few minutes, around 75% more should be good.

At the end of the day is all about input and output. 1. a good size supercaps bank 2. Good quality panels 3. A really good MPP charge controller These should give you what you need.

Yes, but only if you have a capacitor bank the size of a small house and for the money, you'll better off with batteries. The idea behind this project is to be able to have some sort of relief during emergencies.

solo si tiene acceso a una terraza con sol directo

Hola, espero tu comentario sea basado en la gran limitación de nuestra comunidad latina y no la de confundir 0’ hablar sin una base. Pero cualquier capacitador que tengas dc arriba de 21,000 uf te ayudará no son baterías pero sí lo interpones en medio no te dejará caer el Voltaje de la batería qué es su mayor debilidad o de cualquier otra fuente, solar, eólica donde el Voltaje sea menor de 120v siendo el mejor 240v o más por qué la diferencia en watt es Voltaje o amperios y si tú Voltaje comienza a caer lo compensa con más amperios , lo que se traduce en calor 🥵 en el equipo y el cableado eléctrico lo cual sigue pidiendo más consumo de energía o amperios. Y un súpercapacitor no permite que el Voltaje y amperaje bajen, mantenimiento el trabajo de tu equipo en su eficiencia, dándole un rendimiento mucho mejor a la fuente. Son caros pero ahorita con los problemas globales están más accesibles. .......cuídate,Gracias

Capacitors will only work during the day. Your question has no answer until you male a proper test but my estimate is more than 10,000

I'll add more panles and more supercaps. You'll need them to handle the energy

Que se le puede añadir para la noche

Puedes añadir más y combinarlo en serie

Una batería

I ran a test using a small led USB light bulb and the supercapacitors kept it on for around 30 minutes

@@JavierCamacho Thanks. I guess if it's on for just a few minutes at a time, it can last many hours.

Also in mine

I wouldn't use supercapacitors as my main energy storage bank. I will use them only as a buffer and attach my house to solar panels or wind turbines. But... if you use a supercaps ab charge then up to 16v, you can run a 5v 8w led bulb for 40 minutes

It will charge it but it will remain off until save voltage is reached
