Run Dehumidifier With Solar Panel

Run the dehumidifier on a low setting early in the process.

Run dehumidifier with solar panel.

To use them you would need an inverter to match the type of power ac t0 dc and the voltage needed for the dehumidifier. I have run an eva dry edv 2200 peltier effect dehumidifier from solar power taking the ac adapter out of the loop completely and running 12v from the charge controller output. Would we charge a rechargable battery using the solar rays or would we run it on solar power alone. We just need help in the way to power it.

If you have a lot of chilly rainy days where the kiln isn t getting much solar gain and the drying is going slow you could try it. Helps for cloudy days or when the panel otherwise doesn t output the same power as the humidifier uses. The solar panel that i have been looking at is the sunforce 50022 5 watt solar battery trickle charger. When in doubt go slow.

You need to regulate the power from the solar panel into either the humidifier or the battery setup. Also you would need enough solar panels to provide enough power for the dehumidifier and the inverter. When the compressor starts in the dehumidifier the starting power draw can be well over 3000 watts. If you want to run it at night you will need batteries too.

We have a dehumidifier and we really want to make it solar powered. Figure out the right charge controller. If you have at least 500 square feet of photovoltaic panels in good condition and a high capacity sine wave inverter. I had some problems i recommend using some sort of switch to automatically turn it off below a certain voltage.

I d take the dehumidifier out of there if it gets really hot. A battery will store energy from the solar panel so you can use it later. Which they sandwiched between a solar panel and a water condensing plate. If the system can t supply t.
