I am working on a project and trying to find out how long it takes to charge a battery using a given source. The source is a solar array, problem is i dont know how big to build it.
The battery would be a 12v,90Ah deep cycle battery,
Connected to 12v is some low power electronics (5v microcontroller) circuitry,and led lighting also there is a inverter to give 240v AC
The following equipment is connected to the system:
Air Pump, 240v, 30w, 0.125A ..Runs 24/7
Lighting, 12v, 36w, 3A.. Runs 24/4
Water Pump, 240v, 36w, 0.15A.. Runs for around 30 mins total per day.
I need to build an array big enough tho power this during the day, and also charge the battery from the night before, ready for the following night.
I guess i need an array that can put out like just over 100w but i dont know what extra is needed to charge the battery in a quick enough time scale.
