3kW MORE!

Finally, our 3kW Tindo Solar Karra 250's (x12) are on the roof and cranking e's big time.

For full details of the locally (South Australian) made panels please follow this link http://www.tindosolar.com.au/our-australian-made-solar-panel/our-australian-made-solar-panel, or got to my earlier post about Tindo. 

At this early stage my concerns about their orientation (~240', 12' tilt) have been allayed as the intial output numbers compare well to my existing 2kW (DC) system discussed previously in this blog. 

We're hopeful this completion of our 5kW system will nuke our eBill! Yay!

Future posts will cover the actual outcomes. 

Here are snapshots of output info from both systems taken "simultaneously" to show the "comparative" performance. 

The 2kW system control panel display

The new 3kW system's web GUI is great, and makes up for the only (minor) failing of the Solarbridge PowerMonitor (which is a net connected server collecting the operating data from each of the 12 inverters) - there is no display panel backlight! I guess the fact that the JSI-2000 is backlit just makes the lack of it on the more advanced SolarBridge PM that bit annoying. But clearly the web based monitor does a better job of presenting all the relevant data in two convenient screens, accessible from ANYWHERE.

The second screen provides a histogram of output at 15min intervals:

I welcome any questions or comments.
