Finally

Clears skies and warm temps, a beautiful day in southwestern Ontario. Turned in all the bolts and put one panel up to check the fit. All is well. Hmmm some time in the next week or two I'll be able to install the rest.

Air-conditioning via sun power, Charging vehicles via solar.

And the Mrs. has her pergola.

Here in Ontario Canada spring is starting (we Hope)!! Its nice to work outside

Look what showed up!! 10 Kw's of PV panel. Maybe this week I can get them mounted. Air-conditioning and vehicle charging are the goal. Ten years ago I wouldn't have thought possible now within grasp!!

I haven't yet had a chance to see if my methods of islanding with the Enphase Inverters will function. Hopefully soon.!! Anyone with some ideas???

Randen

Very nice. Now get them installed and start saving money! Spring is one of the best solar producing times.

I know its been a while that I had played with this. Yesterday my neighbour who is a little more muscular enhanced than I, assisted in raising these panels and bolting them down. It workout fantastically. Now the other half of the job conduit, wires,disconects,inverters and batteries.
The panels have a clear backing so sunlight is defused like leaves of a tree while your enjoying a sit on the patio.

These are very cool panels. They would also make a great car port.
You will be charging that truck with solar in no time.

I'm glad I subscribed to this thread! Looks awesome Randen. I like that you designed this to be so much more than merely functional. It serves multiple purposes and looks good too!

Looks awesome. :thumbup: Nice to have a neighbor willing to assist.

BTW, does this neighbor have, or plan to have, a solar array of his own?
