Nice clean install.

Thanks for your kind comment but this is only a test configuration. I am currently adding more panels and putting the inverter into a cabinet. I will be making a few more videos about this system very soon.

@@andrewford80 I posted a no bull video of real readings.

I was thinking to focus on my power needs for a while. Get it under handle. Not just to sort out the bills, but to also remove dependancy somewhat. I’m just starting, literally today and only have the knowledge from wiring up race cars. My first thought (I bet I look back at this and laugh) is to have 10kw back to the system (to get me credit for the day rate of being hooked up to the grid). Then 5kw for home use (I work from home and have a pool). Not even sure if I can hook it all up like that. I have a 13m x 6m shed and a 10m x 4m back patio. I was thinking to get good secondhand panels (couple of years old from houses that are getting demolished) and fill the space. Hopefully I can get this system going. My question, if it’s not entirely stupid, can I keep the current Fronius 5kw inverter and panels and just hookup a 10kw inverter and 15kw’s of panels (there is an 10kw Sungrow inverter - SG10RS that supports 15kw).

Yes you can keep the original setup and add a completely separate system with batteries and separate solar panels. Good 🤞

I just bought one same as yours but mine is 4500 W How did you set it for priority solar only embarrassed next On mine is the grid keeps coming on fis there something I'm doing wrong on the settings please help

@@_John_Sean_Walker It is more of an experiment to test the efficiency of solar panels under different conditions. These include time of day and panel orientation with respect to the Sun. Also taking into consideration season and cloud cover. I have collected 20 solar panels that I will be fitting to different facing sides of the roof.

Is this inverter installed outdoors? This inverter is absolutely not outdoor rated.

This is a test rig and is located under shelter and is not required to be weatherproof. The whole previous Solar installation was completed by monkeys on crack or worse. It is my job to correct the previous installation errors and build a compliant system that actually works. The solar panel placement was so bad it gets only 4 hours of Sun a day and the conduit bringing the DC feed was draining water into the PV isolator. Total cost in materials so far is $1500 USD which I think is very reasonable for the specs of the system. I will be doing a few more videos on KZread about this as we progress.

@@solarcharging9743 you might be pleased to know the Solar Power system is safe and sound in a secure metal cabinet with lockable AC and DC isolation both inside and outside of the cabinet. The test run over the first two months has performed very well. The next phase of engineering involves upgrading the battery supply to a 1000Ah 48V battery pack with a climate controlled cabinet using 24 cells at 2.1 volts each.
