Will someone help me with a basic block diagram for a solar-electric system?

It needs to include solar panels, solar charge controller, battery pack, 6000 watt inverter (min), transfer switch system, and wiring and accessories. If you know how to design this, please leave me a message. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

You can also find a schematic of an off-grid residential PV system here....

Run a 1200 watt microwave on an 800 watt solar power system?

I am starting to design a house that I would like to build in the near future and I am considering an off-grid solar power system. I just dont really understand electrical stuff really good when it comes to this. This would be my setup. I would of...

The 800 watt spec on the solar panels and charge controller is how much they can push into the battery pack at full output. These won't be affected by the load of the devices that use electricity.

In order to run the microwave, you...

I would like to make a capacitor bank to charge in the shortest time possible and discharge slowly.?

I would like the bank to charge to a minimum of 15V and give a continuous output, through a regulator maybe, of 6V. This would be used to power a small micro-controller, maybe 3V, and a couple of motors, hopefully smaller or equal to 6V. I am...

What you are not telling us is the charge time, and the time it has to operate with no recharge. But I suspect that rechargeable batteries would be a lot smaller and cheaper than capacitors.

Also, that bit about the caps charging...

NXP Demonstrates Groundbreaking Solar Street Lighting Solution at CES 2012

NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) today announced that it has developed an innovative, sustainable and highly efficient solar-powered street lighting solution, together with Philips Lighting. The groundbreaking Solar Gen2 solution, which NXP is demonstrating this week at CES 2012 (booth CP8), could have a major impact on energy consumption in urban areas at night. By charging street lamps during daylight hours, the new solar-powered solution from Philips Lighting and NXP can supplement the capacity of the conventional electricity grid, saving money and reducing CO2 emissions.

The key to the breakthrough lies in the combination of new High Brightness LEDs and unique patented optics from Philips Lighting, together with NXP's MPT61x range of configurable ICs for Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT), which can deliver 98% power conversion efficiency in solar photovoltaic (PV) cells.

What are The Varied Forms of Electricity Producing Solar Systems ...

by Grace

Once you have built your solar panel array. The next step is to put them into a system which can use all the electricity which has been produced. So you either feed the electricity to the grid, store it in batteries or power your appliances. You probably have a rough idea of what you want your finished system to look like, but plan very carefully. Know exactly how many watts of energy you need and how many watts of energy your solar panels are capable of producing.

Transportable Solar Powered Generators

Smallest, cheapest and the most simple system. It only consists of four components – a battery or batteries, inverter, solar panel and the charge controller.

You don’t have to build all your solar panels before you install a system in your home. You can add more solar panels as and when they are available. The inverter will switch the current from DC to AC so you can power directly your household appliances.
