Hello
I have quite a good set up now but very new to this
my question is can i use the dump load to power an inverter directly that is also being powered by a battery bank so 2 dc feeds going to the inverter?
it might sound silly but i am running an ant miner completely off grid and it consumes a hell of alot of power, so any dump load in high winds would be used up instantly but can it work using this as a dump load
at the moment i have 2 100w solar panels and 2 120AH batteries and a 3000w heavy duty inverter with a 100amp controller completely off grid, it will run the ant miner for 3 hours before the inverter cuts out because of low battery power, this week i will be adding 2 100w solar panels and a wind turbine 1500w when it gets here from china i dont expect it to kick out 1500w but hoping for about 600.
I still dont think this will be enough to run the ant miner 24/7 as it uses 1350 watts per hour consumption so the reason for the question as it is very windy here could i use the dump load to power the inverter and preserve the battery power for night time
excuse my ignorance ime very new to this youtube trained lol
