Power = 1/5 * Efficiency * Head * Flow
1000W = 1/5 * 50% * Head * Flow
1000W = 1/10 * 10ft * 1000gpm (I am just making up the head and flow rate number can you supply the actual numbers)
1000W = 1/10 * 10,000
1000W = 1000W
Daily Production = Power * Hours/Day
Daily Production = 1000W * 24hrs
Daily Production = 24KWHr per day
Daily Usuage = ? can you let us konw what the number is for you currently, the average for usa is 28KWHr/day
I have a few questions?
Is the house elctrical system grid tied?
What is your backup electric supply, a propane generator?
What is your estimated peak load, when you have all/most your devices on? 15KW
Is your
battery bank 3x peak load for a LFP or 20x for a lead-acid battery or is it 2x your daily usuage?
Is your house wired for 120V or 240V split-phase?
What type of
inverter does the system currently have? 15KWH? 240V-AC? 48V-DC?
What type of dump load is currently being used? Is it a 2000W resistive load or just 1000W?
What type of generator is it, AC vs DC, voltage, etc?
What is the maintance cost of the wheel+generator+penstock+etc?
What is the replacement cost of the wheel+generator+penstock+etc?
When is it due for the next major overall? (similar to how I would ask when does the furnace/hotwater tank need to replaced)
Sol-Ark All in one Inverter =
15KWH, 240V split-phase
Battery Bank =
40KWHr (aka 3x the inverter load and 2x the daily usage, if it is lead acid instead of LFP it would have to be 100KWHr)
Dump Load = 1200W (

Dump Load Relay Switch = 48V (

Turbine Rectifier = 2500W (

Generator =
48V
