    Small Ground array- off-grid connection to house

    Hello everyone. I am installing a small 'off-grid' powerstation-based system that will run independently from my 13kw grid-tied system. I could use some advice on safely running PV power into my mechanical room where my 4kw Anker 767 and critical loads panel are parked. Scenario: I have a pair...

    Anker 767 NON Portable panel suggestions

    Just checked- our XT60 adapter cable is 10AWG. If it ever stops snowing, I'll hook up the new 480s.

    Anker 767 NON Portable panel suggestions

    Thanks! I'll check that out on ebay. The Signature Solar rack that Will Prowse reviewed got my attention, but it's sold out. For the snow, I may put in some concrete pilings in the spring to get it up a foot or two.

    Picking up panels Saturday. Any suggestions on sourcing ground rack components? I don't want to over build, but these are some big panels, and once or twice a year we get crazy wind gusts that destroy trees and send trampolines into the next county.

    Good to know about the cold performance. Just found some new 480's locally for $275! Winter isn't big for solar sales here, so I'm guessing they're eager to move inventory. Now i just need to fab a rack that will get them up above the 3 ft of snow we currently have.

    They are huge... I tried CEDGreentech, but they only had 400W Qcell panels in at the Utah location. Shipping in two panels from another location was going to be $700. Santan was about the same- $700 to ship two panels.

    -15F on a clear winter day. We're in the Utah mountains at about 6000ft.

    Thoughts on over-paneling the 767 with a pair of these? $320 each BlueSun 550W (up to 663W Bifacial Gain) ELECTRICAL PARAMETERS Performance at STC (Power Tolerance 0 ~ +3%) Maximum Power (Pmax/W) = 550W Operating Voltage (Vmpp/V) = 41.96V Operating Current (Impp/A) = 13.11A Open-Circuit...
