However with the system above the bar now has power autonomy for 2 days and in case there are long periods of cloud cover there is a generator as backup. This is programmed to start automatically when the voltage in the battery bank reaches a set low point. Generator power is then available to the bar, whilst at the same time the battery bank is charged by the Quattro charger side of this combined inverter\/charger. When the battery bank is full, the generator automatically switches off and the system continues to run on the battery solar system once again.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>There would seem little point in having a bar in the sun without ice, but thanks to Victron Energy dealer Solar Projekt, the Hotel Lemongarden&#8217;s beach bar now has buckets of it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14371 size-blogpost-content\" src=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/11\/Beach-bar-view_85102249-690x460.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"690\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/11\/Beach-bar-view_85102249-690x460.jpg 690w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/11\/Beach-bar-view_85102249-730x486.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/11\/Beach-bar-view_85102249-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/11\/Beach-bar-view_85102249-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/11\/Beach-bar-view_85102249.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>My thanks to Boris Tudor of SOLAR PROJEKT d.o.o. for the information and photos in this blog.<\/p>\n<p>John Rushworth<\/p>\n<h5>Links<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/solarprojekt.hr\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/solarprojekt.hr\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/solarprojektdoo\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/solarprojektdoo\/<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Take one private beach, crushed ice courtesy of solar powered battery energy, mix your cocktail of choice and relax&#8230; That sounds good to me and power for the adjacent beach bar is all down to Victron Energy dealer Solar Projekt, from Split in Croatia.
