Treated lumber screwed through the rib into the framing. With buytl sealing tape between lumber and roof. Hadn't finished mounting the top row, before I took the picture.How are those PV panels affixed to the roof
The solar cables are in conduit. I think that you are looking at the antenna and security camera cables.Are you planning to put the cables into conduit?
That's an old vent for a gas furnace. They will both be relocated in the next phase. But, doesn't currently create any significant shading.What's that pipe sticking up middle of the roof? Will it and the aerial cause any shading issues?
5.5kw at the moment. Purchased 24 250w panels.What size array do you have?
At first I did use communications between the battery and inverter. Until I learned more about LFP batteries.Hi Tim. I use the same inverter in Australia with 230v (226-245 to be exact)
I have not yet connected my Daly BMS to the inverter and find it annoying that the Growatt's estimate of State Of Charge is so wildly inaccurate and imprecise that I ignore it. The "ShinePhone" app only shows voltage to the nearest volt - IMHO pretty useless.
Have you connected your LIFEPOWER-4 to the inverter digitally?
If so which method did you find was best/easy?
That's novel!And before you say it. Yes, those are plumbing vents poking through. I didn't want to have gaps in the layout. So I put a couple of bad panels to good use.
well done tim !
Awesome!And before you say it. Yes, those are plumbing vents poking through. I didn't want to have gaps in the layout. So I put a couple of bad panels to good use.
Cool feature of this design choice is you always know what angle the sun is in relation to the panels… built in shadow form.
