W@P's Solar System

Now for panels. How many panels would you suggest we get. How many can the 8kw Sunsynk take per string or Mppt? Looking at 545w Jinko panels at R4000 incl.

I would say aim for 15% above max MPPT Watts then again, I have a spinning disk meter.

Have you considered these bad boys? More bang for less buck

CANADIAN SOLAR 595W PANEL

Combining the best technology and design, it also reduces LCOE and installation costs

So 2 strings of 8 panels per string should be good to go?

I had a good experience buying from them. Ordered the afternoon, took delivery early the next morning. I think they have 545W panels too.

Note the the 595W panels are higher amp (18.4A Isc) and lower voltage (34.7V Vmp / 41.1V Voc). You could fit 10 of them on a Sunsynk/Deye string

Did you get your Hubble via PFS. Still waiting for mines.

Sorry i see you mean PowerForum Store. Then yes i did.

 

[RonSwanson]

Thank Jason the hubbles have arrived. Cannot believe it. Now we can finish the installation.

FTFY

40? You're a scalper.

40? You're a scalper.

Huh? What do you mean?

I have contacted Steve numerous times to arrange for the clamps to be collected and returned. But they still here.

If someone on here wants to take it i would arrange the payment to go to Steve. It does not belong to me.

Those things are as scarce as chicken's teeth.

Just pulling your leg

 

[W@P]

Maybe i should remind him again. He can probably sell them in an instant atm.

Ok so batteries are being mounted as we speak. Got up on the roof to measure. Now i have a template and can plan panels accordingly. Steve is not getting back to me. Does anyone have the contact details of someone else at PFS?

According to Jason, Steve is on sick leave. (If you go to the PFS store page) there are two whatsapp numbers, try the second one.

Yeah he is sick. But they are also busy trying to get orders out to everybody so they might not get back immediately.
