RE: My small DIY solar panel set up.

in #homesteading2 years ago

That is a nice rig. I know there are some shortages of new panels as people rush to get some installed. I had not considered second hand. Is this attached to your home circuits? I am considering getting some panels fairly soon, but may go for a professional install as I am no expert on this stuff, despite studying electrical engineering many years ago. There is some potential to mess it up. It is a shame that the house roof faces east and west really.

Yes Steevc it’s connected to the house system. It’s a grid tied set up, so when we’re using more power than we are producing, we’re topped up with power from the grid. And when we’re producing more than we are using, it’s sent out for someone else to use. My roof really wasn’t ideal. It’s facing the wrong way, and the size/shape is awkward. So that’s why I mounted it on my shed roof instead.
