  11. Was just thinking not sure if anyone tried this: I have 9 x320w panels Going to be 3 strings of 3 what if I put 3 to face NE @ 15 ° and ( front roof ) 3 north and last @ 30° ( on a frame ) 3 to face NW@ 15° ( side roof)
  12. Will it be OK To connect only : battery ac in and ac out For a while Panels still in boxes waiting on rails Or should I rather wait until panels are up and then connect everything ?
  13. @Werner Piek @Coulomb i got them to work parallel Updated the pf0.8 unit to 72.70c And no more fault ( 71 ) Will do all wiring this weekend
  14. According to calculator I got 42° - 66°- 90° from vertical according to me that's 48° - 24° - 0° from horizontal 48+24+0÷3 =24° also have a NW facing roof @15° Will it make a big difference NW compared to N facing Or will it just produce power latter
  15. I'll be very interested to hear the result Fault code ( 71 ) same as @Werner Piek Will update pf0.8 unit to 72.70c and give it a try should be fine then Thank

Will it be compatible with the old 1 ? Attached pictures new and old
  20. In south Africa what's the best angle is 30° OK Being in nylstroom / modimolle ? Please advise
  21. I found this on the internet - ( Roof mounting clearance Solar panels you want to mount on a roof must have at least 3 inches but 4 to 6 inches is better, distance between the roof and solar panels frame. The reason for this clearance is that it allows air flow under the solar panels for cooling them. You must never mount panels in a way there isn't any air flow under them because they can become very hot in that way. )
  22. Thanks 4 all the info - correct me if im wrong : i have 12 x255w already mounted flat on roof and ordered 9x320w (should get them in a week ) from all this info I feel it's better to put (aluminum ) rails and brackets for the new panels - will pay itself off over time ( Not worth it to remove and reinstall the old one's on rails ) Dose anyone know what is the minimum distance it should be between the roof -panel ?
  23. Hi guys advice on panel temperature vs production I have a north facing roof @ 30° corrugated zinc And want to mount my panels directly to the zinc Is it worth spending on rails to lift them ?
  24. Came across this last night Lithium Ion battery Pack | EasyPower http://www.easypowersolar.co.za/shop-2/solar-batteries-deep-cycle-batteries/lithium-ion/6-2kw-lithium-battery-pack-48vdc/ Just putting it out there
