  • Post in thread: Changing panel pitch on roof

    I looked at the difference in PVwatts for 6:12 versus 2:12 for a 2.7 kW string of 6 panels. In the worst month, December, the prediction is 142 kWh for 2:12 and 185 kWh for 6:12 pitch. 30% difference for that string in December/January when we use the most electricity. In the context of the...
  • Post in thread: WTB: Solarever Panels near Maryland

    I recently installed a pallet of Solarever 445W panels, then later decided I can fit two more panels. Santan and Signature have a 10 panel minimum for shipping, and I haven't found anyone within a few hundred miles of Maryland selling them. 445, 450, or 455W would work. This is the 455...

    After considering my options, I re-measured and decided I can fit two rows of panels so while it will cost a bit more extra panels, rails, and Tigo modules, it will remain a standard install and perform better than any orientation I could have put 6 panels in. There might be some shading on the...

    Last month I finished installing my 13.3 kW roof mount system. I might post about it in the show and tell when I get some time. I originally designed the system around a pair of EG4 6500 inverters, but after installing everything had an issue with them that led to returning them for...
