Batteries- The batteries store the power produced by the solar panels. You can tap into this power to run your welding machine. Inverter- This crucial component makes the vital DC to AC transformation of the power stored in the batteries. With AC power, you can run any electrical machine, including your welder.
Technically, you can run any welder size as long as you have enough solar power. Powerful solar panels and batteries are a given, but the welder will run only if the inverter can handle the power being supplied by the battery. Remember, solar panels charge the battery, the battery supplies the power to the inverter which goes into the welder.
Simply put, solar welding is using solar to run a welding machine. A welder can also run off a generator or the grid, but solar is exceptional for being cost-effective and environment-safe. As solar becomes more integrated into critical processes like welding, we have hope that it’ll eventually power most of our everyday activities.
A 3000W solar generator or 7 to 8 x 300W solar panels can power a welding machine with five hours of sunlight. The welder power requirement formula is: Voltage x amps / efficiency = watts / kilowatts To give an example: 24V x 150 amps / .85 efficiency = 4,235 watts or 4.3kwh rounded off. A welder needs 4235 watts to run for 1 hour.
A solar generator is more convenient to use for welding than a solar panel, as a single power station can generate up to 5000W. In contrast you have to install several solar panels to produce the power required by welding machines. There are a lot of different welding processes, so their power usage will vary.
A running solar welding machine gets its power from the solar battery. It's only with a large battery that you'll keep your welder running for an extended period. Large batteries are also less prone to over-draining, which can easily happen if you use a low-capacity battery.
