I am planning to add three 350w (3s) 1050w at 108v to our Cabin system. We have 9.6 kw lithium batteries, 3k Growatt with 490w (4s) 1960w arraoy at 208v.
9 months a year it works great. Winter months have short days and low sun here. We are looking to add 3 Panasonic 350w panels that we picked up on clearance this spring. I can get Ironridge Xr10 rails and all hardware locally. I would like to use some sort of Quckbolt L brackets into wall studs to attach rails.
The main 1960w array faces SW.
The 2nd array will face SE due to trees, mountains, etc. This should give great early morning production before the main array comes into full swing. It will probably start significant charging much earlier in the day this way.
The new panels will have lots of reflected light from snow and clouds during the dark days of winter. 100w extra for 4 hours!
I have a Midnite Kid SCC for the new array and will tying it to main battery bank
The wall is T111 type stained plywood. I am thinking that there would be no issue with the modules being mounted 4" away from wood siding, but it seems wise to either put metal or concrete behind them. What would be a good material for this purpose? Thank you for any ideas or info.
