    6 KW of New Solar Panels Instsalled

    We just completed putting up our solar panels on top of our back porch roof, which is soon to be the new FT/filter/pump room for the current indoor system.

    There are 30 X 200 Watt panels for a total of 6 KW. Right now only 2 of the 10 three panel rows are wired and putting out over 1.1 KW of the rated 1.2 KW. This is about right considering the sun angle and panel temperature.

    We should have the rest of the panels wired in some time next week. Its been cloudy and thunderstorms off and on this week so I have yet to get a complete day of hourly data.

    Here is the picture from one end, standing as close to the end of the roof as I could get to take the picture and get all of the panels in the shot.

    p.s. Black strips to the right are part of a solar heater for the swimming pool.
