Work paid me a bonus this year, so rather than waste it I've decided (given it's extra cash) to use it to bolt a whole bunch of solar panels to the roof of my house. Paid the deposit today and should, all things going to plan, be installed before I start my new job. Went with:

  • 22x Optimised Canadian Solar split cell PERC 300W panels
  • SolarEdge HD Wave 5kW inverter
  • SolarEdge Energy Meter

Nice won @.Stripes. I have just done the same but still waiting on power company to come out and do their bit to the meter.

 

23 panels 270W

5kw inverter

[mention=60962]bloodycrashboy[/mention] 5kW inverter and 6.6kW worth of panels.
What do you see on your readout?
Is it pumping out 5k ?

Mostly cloudy day here in Perth and when the sun poked its head out I was getting up around 5kW...which is pretty great, considering it's September and cloudy AF and raining. Rest of the day it's sat around 2-3kW or so.

Still bloody awesome.
Sunny day and you're making money, even with the aircon running

Currently got the heater on 24degrees mate, a bit chilly over this way.
