Balcony solar PV

One panel up and running. The Enphasr IQ7 that was playing silly buggers in Turkey started playing up again today. I'm junking it and just running the second panel on.a M215 Enphase micro.

Just ordered the 2nd used micro the noo. Second panel.wil go up tomorrow.

It was great to see over 500W out of the Hoymiles FS system this morning. Tail end of season so not expecting any serious accumulation before next Spring. Still great to see.

Another thread for me to get my head around and suss out regards micro invertors.
My 11 x 570w panels arrive on the truck tomorrow.
7 to replace the FIT 190's
3 to add to the Sunsynk
1 for the log store roof to connect to the shed via Micro, once i've found a suitable one.

You guys are a 'bad' influence

That is quite an.uplift!

Second panel is up and running if not quite final fixed.



Handy having a small Hoymiles micro knocking about spare before it's Turkish trip.



A cuppa then a workshop sparky clean up moving into finishing joinery for the timberstore roof and panels.

Can't see anywhere obvious for more panels here, that's all folks!

Joe- just been to Perth for a shopping visit…..
He threw in bags of fixings that I haven’t had time to look at it

Didn’t even notice to busy checking panel voltage and loading up van.
Was tiring but worth it, got a bit of discount too and he threw in the metal work so good experience….
Now to clean panels and either put into storage or a ‘temp’ decking array over the winter.

Again none of this possible without this great place!

Glad to be of help. A good group of lads here. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for their use.

I now have 11 panels running at our home on microinverters. Somewhere around the 3 to 3.2kW mark. Regularly hitting 1.4kW even in these fading days. That almost all of it is second hand (about 90%) and will run and run for years is Enormously satisfying. I expect to see 2kW regularly out of it next year. Might have run in a trenched armoured cable by then to bring the voltage down a little. Will be about 30 mtrs to get from workshop up to hottub CU where I'd hook it in. If anyone comes across a decent length of 2nd hand armoured cable of reasonable conductor dia, please let me know?



Madly enough, we were generating over 7.5kW at 15.00hrs. I am a bit slow right enough but that just doesn't seem right to me.

Edit, ah that's better, the rains on.

That looks good!

Crikey these look so much bigger when on the floor.
10 for the roof, hopefully starting next Wednesday
