Regulators

Bob-O uses a Heliotrope CC-60B PV controller (see Home Power Issue #8, page 31) set to regulate at 31VDC. This is a little high, but the business uses so much power that Bob-O feels he’ll take an equalizing charge whenever he can get it. The hydroelectric turbine produces less than 100 watts and is not regulated. At this point in time, the Whisper wind generator is also not regulated. This has led to several inverter shutoffs from battery overvoltage. Bob-O’s next project is getting the load diversion feature of the new Trace inverter to dump his excess power into heating water in the 80 gallon DHW tank. Once this is accomplished, the Whisper will be effectively controlled and all the system’s surplus power will be diverted into making hot water.
