Picture on left was taken at 6PM
March 16 and shade is just starting to effect .
Easily removable when hurricane is threatening. All made of weather resistant materials for years of service to come.
Each stand is made of all weather resistant materials and total price is about $125.00 including angle steel 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" 14 gauge for solar panel mounting.The stands are clamped on to standing seams steel roof. Protection boxes for battery and controller + box for sun tracker control unit = $40.00
Solar array with sun tracker system E-W - fixed N-S at 33 degrees.This image has 20 -195W panels and gives you an idea of the setup.Price for all panels to me $3800.00 apx.
and are spaced out to prevent shades.
This picture was taken at 10am and the array is producing around 2500W.
The tracking system with all hardware is roughly $150.00 + Small 10Watt solar panel 20Ah battery and charge controller around $130.00

The power is in the solar array, inverter and battery capacity. It was all meant to be only emergency backup power system, but that changed! The system performance is monitored through WIFI and Bluetooth.
3500W off-grid all in one inverter connected to the 110V sub-panel that feeds all essentials NOT only for emergency. It is running and feeding all essentials 24/7.
The 2000W "grid-tied inverter" 240V inverter with limiter on L1 and L2. It is connected to 48V battery bank and output current set to max 35A = to about 1750W. For power line safety - if the grid goes down, this inverter will shut off immediately!!
Price for 2000W grid-tied inverter is around
$450.00
110V sub-panel connected to 110V inverter supplying power to some house lights and all essentials.
The price for sub-panels varies - I believe this one was around $250.00 + PRO installation.
Battery bank with 14kWh of power,
with BMS and active equalizer.
Battery storage is the key!!!!
The battery bank is build of 16 each 280Ah cells and controlled for safe operation by 16S 100A BMS with Bluetooth. For my extra protection I have also installed 16S active equalizer.
apx.: $2500.00 +
16S BMS 100A $110.00
16S Active equalizer $65.00
Battery bracket $20.00
Still trying to figure out if this was the right decision, mostly because of the LOW balancing current of only 1A, on the other hand - doesn't mater if top balanced.
I have set start balance to 3.45V.
Beside that it's working great.
BMS Board 8S-20S 150A with 1A Balance current With CAN/RS485
The price is about $120.00
