Hi, Totally new to solar, I have created what i think the wiring should be for a Off Grid Solar PV System with Grid Supply Back Up and Energy Storage, Self Consumption Without Export. My utility bill Estimated annual usage: 4,456.6kWh. My day time hourly use is very low as the house empty, energy meter says around 400W
Location Birmingham UK, 240AC mains from grid is PME (Protective Multiple Earthing)
I have purchased 4 x Renesola RS41-425NX-E3, I have plans to expand when finances allow.
Maximum Power (Pmax) 425Wp, Voltage at Maximum Power (Vmpp) 32.27V, Current at Maximum Power (Impp) 13.17A, Open Circuit Voltage (Voc) 38.41 V
4 x 425w, Voltage (Vmp)32.50, Current (Imp)13.08
Maximum string voltage (Voc): 169.62V (based on the min temp -15°C)
Minimum string voltage (Vmp): 117.49V (based on the max temp 37°C)
All panels wired in series
Volts = 130, Amps = 13.08, Total Power = 1701 W, Loss % = 0 %
All panels wired in parallel
Volts= 32.5, Amps = 52, Total Power =1690 W, Loss % = 0 %
1. please advise if my wiring is correct
2. Advise on a manufacturer/model for Hybrid inverter with Grid Supply Back Up and Energy Storage. I deal 24 or 48vDC
Sorry all a bit vague, I am really just trying to get the Wiring layout correct, Cable sizes DC Breakers/switches ratings to be established at a later point
Any help appreciated.
