Finally made some progress towards adding the remaining 16 - LG LG425QAK-A6 (425W) to the shed roof.
Started in Sept, but hurricanes Ian and Nicole diverted my time and energy to cleanup and repairs. (Irritated chainsaw noises...)
The Schneider MPPT 100/600 CC for the LG panels is all wired up, waiting in "standby" mode.
Finished installation of the rails for the 8 LG panels on the West facing roof.
Daughter says she will help me lift the 45lb, 75" things up there, on her day off from work.
I was a little concerned about adding 1200 lbs to the shed roof, but as it is distributed over all the trusses, should be OK.
(400lbs for the existing REC365AA & mounts, 400 more for the LG, x2)
8 more LG panels are going on the East roof, so as to pick up more sunrise energy.
One tree is blocking East insolation until about 10AM.
The tree is being terminated w/ extreme prejudice. (Happy chainsaw noises...)
No hurry, as I am trying my best be safe.
It is still hot weather here.
Taking breaks and staying hydrated.
The added 6800 watts are not going to be needed until May-2023, as the pool pumps are off for the season, so the Schneider equipment is only running the heat pump, well pump & misc small loads.
