Hi all,
I have ordered a few books on the PV systems and cannot wait to start
reading them. Out of curiosity this afternoon I went down to the power
panel removed the cover and clamped on my Amp meter.
What I got with all the lights in the house on (as a test) and the Air
conditioner running was:
15.8 5.2 19.7 Which tells me I have 15.8 amps of combined 120/240
(1896/3792 watts) and 5.2 amps (624 watts) of 120 only load.
Should I go around and get the amp/watts off all my major appliances and
use some usage table to figure out what will work best? what is a
reasonable size for grid tied system?
Just want to have some information before talking to some companies.
Makes me look better and I will have some idea if they are trying to
snow me.
