With all the PV wiring ran, panels up, batteries and inverter in place. Now just the component wiring is needed and we should be online with over 9000 watts of power along with 15kWh of battery power as well.
We went with a different fondation this time for the ground mount kit. Still using 6x6 posts, but now there are 2x6 horizontal spanners that everything is attached to.
These panels will be ran in series to produce around 285v of DC power, with two strings I should have over 9000 watts peak.
Using the same Sol-ark 15k, so theres room to grow if I want more panels.
Everything will be routed into this, it is basically the "solar computer" lol.. also known as a all in one inverter.
The panels are small, only 190w each. But with 48 of them they should be quite powerful.
I could have got larger panels, but the ground mount kit had an option to buy panels to. Since I had lots of trouble with my last ground mount kit I wanted to make sure I got compatible panels this time around so less problems to deal with.
Glad to have smaller panels though, dealing with my 450w panels they were quite cumbersome.
The biggest change to this build compared to my previous arrays A/B is a modular battery setup. I am using Pytes V5 server rack batteries this time.
I build the enclosure for the three batteries that will sit in here.. giving me 15kWh of stored power. I will need this power for night time during the winter to heat the pump house, to keep everything from freezing.
I think I am going to love this battery setup. May just add them to my other arrays, luckily my sol-arks can handle two separate battery banks.
Now I need to wait for some electricians to come by to wire it all up! Hopefully I can get this done in a week or two and it should all be online.
