    Trina Solar is giving good feedbacks and really good performance, I swapped 430W solar panels and added their 655W panels in the same space as the old ones with the same price per watt I paid 4 years ago, I am having extra 200W ish more with less space and they are bifacials!

      damn! 655 watts? Didn't even know panels are made that high. Killer. I have limited space and was looking for highest power I could get in a panel... I'll only be able to have 4-5 panels. I have to look into these.

    30 south facing roof mounted QTron 420 black sitting on a black standing seam metal roof. Mounted with Unirac system.
    Looks gorgeous!
    Paired with Enphase IQ8-A microinvertors.
    Day 4 of operation-nothing to report but vibes.

    System installed in early Feb. PTO Feb 28. 34 REC 405AA. So far so good. System has out-performed the contractor's estimate by a considerable margin in March and April. For May, I'm still trending above his estimate, despite weather having been less than wonderful. I think the discrepancy between actual and estimate lies in the shading issues, which aren't as bad as the contractor's model predicted (and he even did a drone scan).

    I had 39 REC Panels installed with REC400AA Pure installed with 2 Tesla PowerWall 3 batteries. The inversion is done in the battery pack. I do have panels on the North side of my house, however I have a really low pitch on my roof and I have zero obstructions. I get sun all day. I have had days where I have generated as much as 64 kilowatts of energy in a day. But now in the fall approaching winter I am seeing about 45 kilowatts generated. This is if I have sun all day. I have 27 kilowatts of storage, so when we have sunny days. I have been pleased so far, and I am in NC close to the Helene devastation. My setup endured the very high winds and we never lost power

    I'm in New Zealand and got the Qcell Q.tron BLK M-G2 panels (M-G2.4+ 425w made in China), had them installed in February. Have 20 panels roof mounted in 2 strings, 10 facing NE and 10 facing NW (remember Southern hemisphere), connected to a 6kW Fronius GEN24 inverter.
    I'm impressed how easily the 8.5kW of panels reaches the 6kW inverter capacity, it reaches it by mid morning on a fine day and even with a layer of high cloud it still easily gets there.....I probably should have installed a larger inverter but I'm export limited to 5kW and with the panels on 2 different facing strings, I thought I wouldn't get that much clipping. It's only now, a month from the shortest day, that it barely gets to 6kW. Ironically, if there are a few clouds around to add a diffuse light source, it still reaches 6kW, and I live at 45 degrees South.

With the Fronius inverter, it has a seperate circuit to supply electricity during an outage, so it doesn't require a grid forming battery system to work.

      @mthomaslauer 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@KB3M , I empathize, because I have had many clients whose smaller roof planes would have accommodated smaller panels but not the larger form factor found in most 400-watt series panels. But making smaller panels would make the panels much more than just 10-20% overall, because both manufacturing and shipping costs would rise. It would cause an increase in larger panel pricing, too, if the manufacturer has to re-tool to make both small and large form factor production runs. Installation costs would also rise as installers must deal with more panels to mount in more and varied locations/patterns. It is all about economies of scale, and most roofs can still host the 400-watt size module.
