8.6KW of solar on this one.... Currently sitting with a total of 17.5 KW of solar on my property and it still feels empty... I guess ill build a second one.
So i built this out of treated wood (mostly). Its 42 feet long x 4 feet wide x 6 feet tall with 11ft uni-strut.
Total cost for wood: $420
Bricks: $70
Screw in ground anchors: $60 off amazon.
Aircraft cable: $100
Uni-strut: $140
The system is a floating system. Its only anchored with cables and earth anchors.
I have tested 2 other arrays and it seems to hold up to the harsh winter and spring in Manitoba Canada.
I will build a second one beside this one to help with the winter low sun rates.
Last year was brutal with an average of 1-2 hrs of sun.
The plan is to have 26kw of solar available.
1200 amps of battery storage slowly growing...
