Solar amps around Australia

Hey that's good work Ozi, top stuff.

That is brialliant mate
Always looked for that information
So thankful you tech guys give your knowledge and assitance
Great thanks for posting

0zy,
You state YOU have done a full website showing the solar output for locations across Australia for solar panels from 2w to 100w, and you claim for panels mounted flat like they are on a caravan or campervan, we need to DEDUCT 10% in summer and 22% in winter from the figures, so I believe if you want that recognition, then you must also accept the responsibility for the truthfulness of your website!

You claim: Sun Hours for Broome:

(A) January to December average 6.6 sun hours

(B) Average for the year 6.08 sun hours

(C) March to November average 4.5 sun hours

Question;
why is there a difference between ALL the months of the year eg, (A) January to December (6.6) and the figure you are quoting (B) average for the year (6.08)

I spend months at a time in the Broome region during the ‘winter’ months, (C) March to November and I assure you there are more than 4.5 sun hours per day.

If you are suggesting only your brand of solar panel works for 4.5 hours in Broome in winter per day then maybe you should get a new dealership with one of the quality brands that will work for more hours per day.

Wow David,
Thankyou, excellent info.

A suggestion for testing David Au's information

1. Establish a power usage value. [x watts per day]
2. Establish a battery storage value [xAh]
3. Establish a Location & Time-of-year [woop woop in May]
4. Contact as many commercial solar suppliers and document their recommendation[s]

Post the suggested systems with the name-of-business, phone number & contact name [ so that your data can be verified] Naturally you need to supply the info for #1-3 as well.

An alternative 'quick-fix' is to contact commercial solar suppliers & ask them which table they use?

If ýou' wish to 'knock' someone please supply VERIFIABLE PROOF so that interested parties can check 'your' comments.

Cheers

Another interesting website explaining 'Peak Sun Hours/Solar Hours'
and a look-up chart for different regions of Australia

The Suntech Solar web site as sold by 0zi makes interesting reading!
http://www.suntechaustralia.com.au/solar.htm

Only the word Sun and Sunshine are mentioned on the entire site where it describes how solar panels work.

"Sunlight" provides a stream of energy particles called photons. These photons streaming from the "sun" penetrate into the silicon cell and strike silicon atoms.
The process enables the cell to continue to produce power as long as the "sun" shines on it.
The output of the module is influenced by the amount of "sunlight" shining on it.

So I ask the question;
What is a "Peak Sun Hour" or “Solar Hour” ??

Yes, I have read the web site recomended by 0zi “Another interesting website explaining Peak Sun Hours/Solar Hours” http://solar.anu.edu.au/Sun/Irrad/Irradiation.html

and the words Peak Sun Hour or Solar Hour did not appear anywhere on the entire site, it was only relevant to Irradiation Data and Solar Radiation.

If you know where Sun Hours etc are defined on a Solar web site as being different to “Sunshine” please post the addy, because I also want to learn the theory.

Hello David,

Looks like there has been some ' pruning' been done on this topic so I am not sure if this has been mentioned before.

Query about the headings of the tables,
1. [Max battery charge amps hour]
I read this as [Average battery charge rate in amps per sun-hour for the maximum sun-month]
2. [Amps per day]
I read this as [ Ah per sun-day]

Am I offtrack?
Good guide.

Cheers

Mad Dog
Could you please post the WEB SITE you got your information from?

My question did ask; If you know where the term Sun Hours etc are defined on a Solar WEB SITE, as being different to “Sunshine” please post the address, because I also want to learn the theory, 'cause I allready know the practical aspects, lol

As to the sunshine quip, well it has been in the 30+ degrees here this week and I see it is cool an WET in Melbourne, the southern terrorists are starting to arrive in droves from the south for the winter, so the population more than doubles and we all enjoy the casual lifestyle together, and that includes enjoying the local sunshine which, yes, we get for at least 10 hours every day and generally without any clouds at all during winter, as is in summer we get the rain, (monsoons & humidity) well has to be some method of removing the terrorists outa town an back south so we can also have a break also.

This is not meant to offend the Grey Nomads, really nice people!
and the true ferrals don't read this website, is it don't or can't???
