Are you planning to expand your solar installation? Do you happen to know how many square meters of buysolar's yard solar panels are covering now?
It's a very interesting project and I'm keen to know how it will develop. Nice work guys!
we hope to expand it. but there is a false cap caused by the power company.
Buysolar sells back excess power in the day. Then buys the power back at night. this means no batteries and quite a bit of savings on them.
When it is daytime the power companies transformer allows buysolar to send 67kwatts of excess power.
The system right now can produce 135kwatts of power at peak sunlight it uses 20kwatts or so
for mining and household since it is on his property and runs his home.
So 20 + 67 = 87kwatts and the panels at peak are doing 135 kwatts. This means an excess of 48kwatts at peak sunlight. So we have no need to put in more panels until the power company upgrades their trans former beyond the current 67kwatts.
Buysolar should be able to answer how many panels are used here .
I know he has them on the roof of his home. I did not photo that
I know he has them on his barn.
I know he has the two acre horse area .
It is a lot of panels. Cost is not cheap to do it. but the system has a long life time in front of it.
He does not need to use batteries which don't last.
