Panel tracker and Classic output

[Tinman]

From 3 100 watt panels, 1.1 kw in 6 hours. I can easily get 1.8-1.9 kw a day from the 3 panels. Note, I've gone to float already. I'm using the Classic 150 in a RV solar installation:

3 100 watt mono panels on a panel tracker.

Started tracking today at 8am and took this picture of the local app results at 2pm. As you can see, the harvet is very good for just 3 100 watt panels. I'm at float by 1pm having gone the previous day-night off-grid.

So this is for 6 hours of sunlight just north of San Francisco. No clouds and the panels on their tracker are about 14 feet off the ground. I'm running at an angle of about 40 degrees.

I have about 6 hours of sunlight left since the panels track and see the sun until it dips below on the the hills. In the am the panels are illuminated about 20-30 minutes are it comes over the horizon (a building). Other than that, direct sun the remainder of the time.

To say I'm thrilled with the Classic is putting it mildly. Not all the credit goes to the Classic though, the tracker insures those 3 100 watt panels are doing all they can. It is my own design  and pictures will be forthcoming as soon as I cleanup my inverter bay wiring (just making it nice and tidy) and replace my flooded batteries with AGMs.

I am on the way to making it plug and play. In other words, the only thing you need to do is pull wire, connect it and go on about your business. Got about 800 hours into the design, testing and that sort of thing so far. It's been a labor of passion so far.
