I’ve had my panels propped against the wall for a while (probably last fall, since I set them up vertically) and I thought it was time to try something else I got some supports and I’m trying to get an angle for longer yields, rather than optimize for best throughout but limited time The new setup does eat up a big chunk of the available space, and I don’t know that I will tolerate that for long #solar #SolarPunk

I was way off with my numbers First, I checked the sticker on the panels and they are 400W each Second, I currently have them plugged into the only solar port directly on the battery, which caps at 460W or something, while I could wire them to the provided inverter (2 inputs) and use their full potential So this isn’t 1-2 kWh per day at all, this is 400W * 8h per day with my current setup (that’s over 3 kWh), and likely at least +50% once the new wires arrive I could almost power the entire house off of these two panels, in the summer I’m reasonably sure that with some clever engineering to reposition them to follow the sun automatically, I could just about tie it over (at least in the summer with clear weather) I am also reasonably certain that 16+ panels, which is usually quoted to me, is a tad overkill #solar
