August is the month where we complete one year of metrics tracking for my solar projects. Soon I will put together some charts showing the overall year comparing month to month statistics.
Once I upgrade my array it should make next years charts really show the difference, but I am looking forward to seeing the seasonal difference we had through 2024 and into 2025 in the meantime.
Array-C has been working well, supporting machines used inside the building. And soon I will be starting to rebuilding Array-A and Array-B adding more solar panels.
In the month of August we produced 1546 kWh (1.54 Mwh) on the farm.
Array A production stats:
Load: 1935.2 kWh PV: 360.5 kWh Grid Import: 1768.9 kWh Battery Charge: 117.6 kWh Battery Discharge: 13.3 kWh
Array A build:
System Size = 5.5 kWp DC Panels = Sungoldpower Monocryalline 60 cell (12 Panels, 450 Watts each) Mounting System = Brightmount EG4 screwed into 6x6 timbers Wiring: 1x 8 AWG 19 strand PV direct bury wire pair Inverters = 2x Sol-Ark 15k all-in-ones (240V)
Battery Backup = 48 3.2v EVE LF280 LiFePO4 280AH batteries Battery Management system = Daly Smart BMS 16S 48V 500A Battery Capacity = 45.696 kWh (840AH)
Propane Generator = Briggs and Stratton Power Protect 26kw
Array B production stats:
Load: 1718.7 kWh PV: 1021.1 kWh Grid Import: 843.8 kWh Battery Charge: 405.2 kWh Battery Discharge: 332 kWh
Array B build:
System Size = 9 kWp DC Panels = Sungoldpower Monocrystalline 60 cell (20 Panels, 450 Watts each) Mounting System = Brightmount EG4 screwed into 6x6 timbers Wiring: 2x 8 AWG 19 strand PV direct bury wire pair Inverters = Sol-Ark 15k all-in-one (240V)
Battery Backup = 48 3.2v LiFePO4 290AH batteries (unknown brand) Battery Management system = Daly Smart BMS 16S 48V 250A Battery Capacity = 47.328 kWh (870AH)
Propane Generator = Briggs and Stratton Power Protect 22kw
Array C production stats:
Load: 116.9 kWh PV: 164.9 kWh Grid Import: 0 kWh Battery Charge: 91.5 kWh Battery Discharge: 77 kWh
Array C build:
System Size = 9 kWp DC Panels = Eco-worthy Bifacial 190W (2 strings of 48 panels running at 275v each) Mounting System = 12 Eco-worthy Multi-panels mount holds four panels each. Wiring: 2x 8 AWG 19 strand PV direct bury wire pair Inverters = Sol-Ark 15k all-in-one (240V)
Battery Backup = 3x Pytes V5 batteries Battery Management system = Built in Pytes BMS Battery Capacity = 15 kWh (272AH)
Totals combined for all arrays (A+B+C):
1546 kWh (1.54 Mwh) produced for the month of August
