Catch, make or grow everything you can.
I have made arrangements to take some older Sharp 230W panels from an existing set up that will be getting new PV.
The used panels are Sharp NU-U230F3 modules, I will get 36 identical panels, and I am told these are "about 8 years old". I have a PV tester, and will be able to determine if any are faulty prior to building the ground mount and installing them.
36 x 230W = 8.28kW even if they only output 70% this would be 5.8kW
VOC 37.0
Isc 8.40
Rated Voltage 30v
Rated Current 7.67
Max series voltage 600v
Max series fuse 15A
So the space I have for a ground mount, without shade is pretty darn far from my main ESS - approx 400 ft (122m) one way distance including vertical at ends. This screams high voltage PV to keep the wire size down.
My main ESS is 48v nominal 16s LFP.
What are the suggested SCC, and ##s - ##p combinations to utilize these? Feel Free to consider quantity less than all 36, some may be faulty.
