Title: 8.8khw system on-grid
Post by: 100Million on July 15, 2015, 11:14:06 AM
Well I bought this system from a guy used and installed it on my barn. I paid 7500.00 and 300.00 in gas.

I had to buy a MNPV8HV-DISCO 4X to meet code in Oregon.  Thanks Jim and Midnite.

I have 42 panes

This is my Railing system http://www.prosolar.com/prosolar-new/pages/rooftrac-main2.htm

This is my combiner disconnect box http://www.midnitesolar.com/productPhoto.php?product_ID=559&productCatName=Combiners - Disconnecting&productCat_ID=26&sortOrder=9&act=p

This is my inverter http://www.solardesigntool.com/components/inverter-grid-tie-solar/Sunpower/15/SPR-5000m/specification-data-sheet.html

This is my panels http://www.solardesigntool.com/components/module-panel-solar/Sunpower/1/SPR-210-BLK-U/specification-data-sheet.html

I also added 2 more disconnects on the ground so I don't have to get on the roof to turn system off.

I also had to figure out that my system was a positive ground.

I have about 9500.00 in to the whole system and intall it all by myself.  I will say Jim helped me out some and Rachael helped me get my DISCO set up because I did not know I had a positive ground system .....

I have 5 strings .... 3 strings of 8 on one inverter and 2 strings of 9 on the other inverter

We it is up a running and one invertor has a high of 4600 and the other was 3850.

It took my about 2 weeks to figure all out and 3 weeks working 2 hours in the morning only to install the system.  It was 100 degree days .... I wish I had it running hehe

Thanks and want to share it

Chris
