<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"'>I
have an off grid client that we are moving the existing sway-backed fixed mount
PV array to a new location (the sun gets blocked Nov, Dec And Jan after 1:30PM;
the ex-husbands bright idea).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"'>We
will be mounting the existing [12] MSX66 PV on a Wattsun tracker at [2]
strings 6 modules @ 126VOC. I still have room for [2] 230watt PV modules that
could be mounted in the middle in portrait. There is room on the MX60 charge
controller for the additional wattage. This wattage total would meet her energy
analysis currently.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"'>Obviously
the additional [2] 230 watt PV modules in series will be at a different voltage,
IV curve, & overall characteristic from the [12] MSX 66 modules [2
strings of 6 in series.]<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"'>The
client is not thrilled about having to run an additional wire feed [150’]
and have an additional and separate charge controller for the additional 460
watts and 24 DC – 19 amps x 1.56 = 30 amps.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"'>I
told her that it would affect the whole output and that she might only get 325watts
to maybe an additional 400 watt if she was lucky and it might be worse than the
325watts.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"'>I
am open to any experiences or points to make to help change the course of this not
good idea & experiment that you might like to share to help me change her
mind from “can we try it to, OK let’s not do it”, without the
usual “trust me I am a wrench and this is a bad idea, and I know best.”
Even if I do……..<o:p></o:p></span></p>
