What size solar power system can 4 sets of 12V 300Ah LiFePO4 batteries support?

Here’s a detailed explanation in English:


Step 1: Calculate Total Battery Capacity

  • Voltage: 12V × 4 batteries (typically arranged in series for a 48V system).

  • Capacity: 300Ah × 4 = 1,200Ah (if in parallel) or 300Ah (if in series for 48V).

  • Total Energy Storage:

    Energy (Wh)=Voltage×Capacity=48V×300Ah=14,400Wh(14.4kWh).


Step 2: Determine Solar Panel Capacity

To recharge the batteries daily (assuming 1 full cycle per day):

Solar Panel Size (W)=Battery Energy (Wh)Sunlight Hours×System Efficiency.

  • Sunlight Hours: Assume 4–6 peak sunlight hours (adjust based on location).

  • Efficiency: ~80% (due to losses in charging, wiring, and inverters).

Example:
For 5 sunlight hours:

Solar Power=14,400Wh5×0.8=3,600W(3.6kW).

Recommended Solar Capacity:

  • Minimum: 2,000W (to partially recharge batteries).

  • Optimal: 3,000–4,000W (for full daily recharge).


Step 3: Key Components

  1. Solar Panels: 3,000–4,000W (e.g., 10×400W panels).

  2. Charge Controller:

    • MPPT Type (supports 48V systems).

    • Current Rating4,000W48V=83A → Choose a 100A controller.

  3. Inverter:

    • Power: 3,000–5,000W (to handle surge loads).

    • Voltage: 48V DC input.


Important Notes

  • Battery Depth of Discharge (DoD): LiFePO4 batteries can safely discharge to 80–90% DoD, increasing usable energy.

  • Scalability: Add more panels if energy demand grows.

  • Climate: Increase panel capacity by 20–30% for cloudy regions.


It is necessary to ensure the correct translation of technical terms, such as "Nominal Voltage"  "Full Charge Voltage" for  and "Discharge Cut-off Voltage" for  Additionally, the cycle life "≥2000次" should be accurately expressed as "≥2000 cycles" and specify that it is at 80% DOD.

For physical characteristics, dimensions and weight should be converted to internationally recognized units if necessary, such as millimeters and kilograms. However, since the user's previous response already used millimeters and kilograms, they can remain unchanged.

It is also important to check for any missing parameters, such as operating temperature range, safety certifications, and application scenarios. While these were included in the user’s previous response, the current request may only require core parameters. However, for completeness, additional details may be necessary.

Furthermore, the translated specifications should remain professional and formal, suitable for technical documentation. Proper units and symbols should be used, such as V (Volt), Ah (Ampere-hour), Wh (Watt-hour), kWh (Kilowatt-hour), A (Ampere), etc.

Accuracy must be ensured to avoid misunderstandings, especially regarding current and voltage parameters, which are crucial for system design. For example, a continuous charge/discharge current of 0.5C (150A), a peak current of 1C (300A) for no more than 30 seconds, and similar conditions should be precisely translated and clearly stated.

In summary, the user requires an accurate, professional, and well-structured English version of the specifications, which may be used for procurement, technical documentation, or international communication. Each parameter should be carefully checked for correct translation, and the table should be neatly formatted to ensure clear and concise presentation.
