Found 16 - 425 watt LG panels, local pickup @ rexelusa Friday!
They just barely fit in the space available on the shed roof, under the existing REC365AA panels.
(SnapNrack rails are 336.5", 8 LG panels & mounting brackets = 332")
Eight will face West, eight East.
Will be configured two strings of 8S.
DC coupled, (385 VDC, 10.8A)
I read that LG is no longer in the PV business, don't care.
The PV availability is currently a giant mess here, glad to find these!
After the solar upgrade this Winter, I will move the ancient 80 gallon water heater 4500 watt load over to the XW Pro inverters.
The WH timer will be set to run the heating elements (non-sequential) during peak Sun.
If the inverter load is under the 14,400 watt limit, I'll keep the old WH in service until it breaks.
The largest load the inverters have seen this Summer was 9.2kw, and that was not typical.
(The well pump cycled on while all the other loads were active, including the 2-stage heat pump compressor cranked up to maximum 3500 watts, it normally runs 2100.)
If any difficulties with the load arise, I'll replace the old WH w/ a heat pump unit.
