  • Hello from Datil, NM

    I'm just starting my second foray into solar system ownership. My original use was about 20 years ago with a small off grid system. It supplied about one 20a 115v circuit for a short time. I used it for an astronomy location. This time I plan to go grid-tie. I have bought a pallet of 370w panels...
  • Figuring My Panel Wiring ?

    I have 32 Solar Panels and I need help in figuring out how to plug them in to my Grid-Tie inverter. The panels are 370 watts each. Here is what their brochure says. The inverter is a Growatt 11.4kw Grid-Tie unit. Here is what it's brochure says. I need to figure out the wiring of the...

  • Is not charging damaging?

    While prices are relatively low I was thinking of buying 6 Ruixu batteries and the rack. I am not ready to use them quite yet and I was wondering if it would hurt them to just sit in the rack in the garage for awhile? It's sort of a gamble as I don't know if the price will go up or down, but...
  • Ironridge XR1000 spacing?

    I am using the Ironridge ground mounting system. The panels are 40.86614" x 69.09449". I can't seem to find a measurement that tells me how far in from the ends of the panel the XR1000s should be. This would be the 69.09449" overall dimension. On their drawings it looks to be around 12" from...

  • Delay adjustment for Growatt grid-tie inverter?

    I have bought a Growatt grid-tie inverter. The problem is that our power company suffers from frequent "blips". What I am looking for is an adjustment that would allow me to increase the shut down time to maybe 2 seconds so the inverter will stay on during these "blips". Is there such a thing?
  • Help figuring solar panel breakers/disconnects?

    I will be wiring 8 panels per string. (4 strings) Each panel is 370w Each string would be 328v at 10.92 amps (series). Would like a 4 string circuit breaker/disconnect. Will run from there to the 4 inverter inputs.
  • Calculating battery size?

    The local grid supplier says I use about 32-34 kw hours per day. I live at 7400' elevation in the Rockies. The coldest I have seen here is -15° F but most of the time in the winter it is in the plus teens at night, if that cold. As of this writing it is 19.5° F My array is 32 panels (so far) of...
