Customer Comments

"The installation is on a external building that is about 200 ft from our house. It is a pole frame building with a metal roof and siding. The metal roof made it a little challenging to find the appropriate brackets to mount the railing and racking System. The wiring was all brought into the building from the panels through waterproof connections and conduit into the ridge roof vent at the top of the rows of panels. There are three chains of panels, each with 15 panels. Those three runs are brought into the combiner box to produce a single DC output which is fed into the Inverter. I ran heavy direct burial (4/0-4/0-2/0) from the building to my house. This size cable was not needed for the current being produced, but I was trying to reduce the voltage drop across the 200 feet, so It would remain in spec for the Net Meter. System was turned on with the Net Meter in place on Aug 26, 2016. Since then the System has generated 29.7MW. Peak day so far was 98KW on Apr 29 2017, Peak month so far was May 2017 at 2.54MW. I probably oversized the system too much, as I have a 5MW credit from the power company for the last 12 months."
