Trying to find panels for eg4 6500ex

[Patrick1]

Hello,

I was told I could get locally the "Trina Solar Limited Solar Panel Series Vertex S TSM-DE19 535W"

I was wondering if the eg4 6500ex (x2) would accept those panels?

Here is some info I found:

DC Electrical Characteristics

STC Power Rating 535W
PTC Power Rating 503.69W 1
STC Power per unit of area 19.0W/ft2 (204.8W/m2)
Peak Efficiency 20.48%
Power Tolerances 0%/+5%
Number of Cells 110
Nominal Voltage not applicable
Imp 17.28A
Vmp 31V
Isc 18.36A
Voc 37.3V
NOCT 43°C
Temp. Coefficient of Isc 0.04%/K
Temp. Coefficient of Power -0.34%/K
Temp. Coefficient of Voltage -0.093V/K
Series Fuse Rating 30A
Maximum System Voltage 1500V

Mechanical Characteristics

Type Monocrystalline Silicon
Output Terminal Type Multicontact Connector Type 4
Output Cable Wire Gauge 12 AWG
Output Cable Wire Type PV Wire
Output Cable Wire Length 55.1in (1,400mm)
Frame Color Clear
Backsheet Color White

Width 43.1in (1,096mm)
Depth 1.4in (35mm)
Weight 63.1lb (28.6kg)
Installation Method Rack-Mounted

Warranty and Certifications

80% Power Output Warranty Period 25yrs
90% Power Output Warranty Period 10yrs
Workmanship Warranty Period 12yrs
UL Fire Classification data not available
Compliances UL 1703, IEC 61215, IEC 61730
CSI Listed No

1. PTC rating calculated using 43°C as the NOCT (Nominal Cell Operating Temperature)

I tried using the midnitesolar tool, but Im not sure if I did it right.
FYI:
Coldest Ambient Temp 9.4 C°
Hottest Ambient Temp 37.2 C°




Any help is always appreciated.

Also, I would like to have the minimum # of panels, (roof mounted).
somewhere in the neighborhood of 8kW eventually 16kW if needed...

My power company claims we use about 14kW/day, (I am planning on using more ).
Also got 6 X EG4-LL 48V batteries. (collecting dust since I'm still waiting for the inverters.)

Thanks.

Those are some really large panels. Think about that before dragging them up on a roof.

It is a bit surprising to see such a large panel with such a low Voc.

You should post the charger MPPT spec on the inverter/charger, to get the best answer.

10 per string will be good for the EG4 and with 4 input's per pair of those inverters you could have 40 kw of panels !!!

LOL, I won't be the one carrying them.

They should work great. How many did you plan to install?

 

[Patrick1]

They quoted me13 X 535w = $16,000
With unirack installed.

Don't know if 13 panels (6.955kW) is enough?
My power company claims we use about 14kW/day.
But if I were to use 20 to 25kW/day, would those 13 panels be enough?

You should go to PVWatts and run the calculator for 7000w your location, your panel azimuth, and tilt. The results will tell you how many KWH you can expect each month and year. (roof mounted?)

Well PVWatts says: 11,300 kWh/Year.
