[RE-wrenches] Old Modules for GIT system?

[Dana]

Cell phone calculator on a 45° hill side = bad calc.

They are not tested [at 18+’ in the air on a 45 deg hill they are just up
there [climbing harness access only], but have been supplying 2 Sunfrost ref
& freezer and a collection of DC water pumping with consistent power without
backup. We will be checking their abilities out.

There’s copper in them thar hills!

 

You might even be able to buy 1kW of new PV with that.

 

But is your math wrong? 24 x 80W = 1920W not 960W.

 

Have you tested these modules? Solarex does not have a great track record.
The APT PowerCenter puts this back about 20 years, so they aren’t exactly
young modules.

I forgot to add to add we have 220’ of 4 X 4/0 Thhn running to the house.
With today’s prices I could pull that out and purchase a couple of the
Enphase inverters

Dana,

 

Maybe wire 3 in series to a single Enphase?  It'll depend on what the
voltages are.

I have a client eat has a 24 - Solarex  SX 80 PV module system that was off
grid, Trace inverter, APT Power panel and an very aged L-16 battery bank.

The utility came in and he wants to go grid tie. It is or was only 960 watt
originally. I realize that an array rewire is in order and it may only be a
1 KW system but he is interested in getting the equipment upgraded.

Has anyone done a grid tie with such a small array and with modules this
old?

Any thoughts on installing sealed batteries and leaving it alone?
