I am new to solar systems and also have no know how towards the electronics, would you like to let me know why did you choose 210wp solar panels, any reason?
What are the other specifications of the system?
Hi Norous.
I'm not much of a DIY person when it comes to things like this, so the Sanyo 210Wp panels were just what my installers proposed. I lot of installers were evidently using the same panels around then. I think Sanyo did a 215Wp panel for a while, but then it disappeared and the 210 became the 'highest power while still a reasonable size' panel. It probably doesn't matter all that much what panels you use. If you're putting together a largish system, it seems to make sense to use a lesser number of high power panels rather than lots of lesser-powered ones. These particular Sanyo panels claim to combine amorphous and crystalline silicon so as to produce better low-light performance, hence more kWh per year for the same kWp than some others. Not sure this makes too much difference - by far the majority or the energy is produced when it's good and sunny - not when the panel is fiddling about producing a few tens of watts in poor weather.
There's not much to be said about the specification of the rest of it (that isn't obvious from the pictures). 10 panels, arranged in two 'strings' of 5 (this is just so you end up with appropriate voltage/current to match the inverter). Fronius grid-tie inverter.
Anyway, do stick around. There are plenty people on here who know lots. Perhaps post a new thread in the Solar PV forum if you want more people to notice your questions.
