It is that time of the year again! No, not Christmas... even it is almost cold enough for that🥶 It's time to install some more solar in two locations: next to the pool fence and also a new array behind the pool. We also connect this new array to the SUN GTIL Inverter which will feed the power into my micro grid and the batteries. I'll talk about why most of my panels are in parallel and the arrays consist of many strings instead of one high voltage string.
After a few days we are having a first look to see if the additional panels produce a good amount of energy and if it was worth all the effort...
