Hithium 314ah Review/Capacity Test 333ah

[Zwy]

I'll have to modify all the ground mounts but I think going from 260w Trina and 320w Jinko to new 420w bifacials will be worth the effort.

What do I do with all the extra panels? Most likely I'd go 4x5 and have 17 left. I'd like some panels to mount on the sheds vertically for extra winter PV. Bifacial not so good for that. I could make another mount with some leftover pieces of about 10 panels max.

Guess it kind of depends ...

I quit watching. Test was flawed with the panel overhang and the white wall plus walkway and other issues.

It should have been 2 bi facial panels on the left, 2 standard panels on the right. No overhang and actually mounted in the middle of the roof. A total of 4 panels only. No shading either, cooler temps due to shade could affect output.

Dave means well but over the years I've noticed flaws in his testing that should not be there.

Oops ... something happened. Someone have experience with these panels? They appear to have all the latest and greatest; bifi, n-type topcon, 1.6mm glass both sides, 21.5% efficiency. $.245/w shipped.

Ordered these Wednesday and they are already at the local shipping depot waiting to get picked up. Of course, the roads were covered with ~6" of snow this morning. Not pulling a trailer down a packed snow covered road. They'll have to wait till Monday.
