1.4kw solar panel grid tie inverter system generator
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
the solar panels are 195w 36v and they are all connected in series so they give off 324v and 1.4kw so far they have been fantastic and I have hardly used any electricity from the grid during the day even when it is dull and I recommend that everybody should do this there are companies that will install them for free but if you can afford it then you should definitely pay for it yourself. If you are wondering I installed this system myself and did all the wiring and got a guy that has the MSC certificates to come out and check it he said it was fine and did all the paperwork etc so that I will get onto the FIT's scheme and get paid for the electricity it generates.

If you want to build it yourself just look for inplix website. There is all you need to make it :)
-
Nice system but what type of battery bank do you
-
Good to see that solar energy is getting installed all over the world. great information on Solar panels my friend.

And

I couldn't understand what the guy said on this video.

there is a ce4000on ebsy that is stated to be UL1741 certified and dose show on california SB1 LIST. it spec is 55vdc to 100vdc. 72 cell string, which my panels are.I'm still checking.YOUR THOUGHTS

i know mine cost around £2000 ($3055) and i have never seen a low voltage one that the utility company will certify this system is 324v + , i was messing with the wiring at night and i got a real bad shock off it didn't think it would generate anything with just moon and street lights but it does i would think it could kill a person during the day if they managed to touch a live cable. you would have to and should put all junctions in isolator boxes that have screw lids so cannot be disturbed.

It will cost $1100 to $4000 moore expensive for the inverter. My other inverter was$239.00 & free shipping. I located my system on the ground.I found a low voltage inverter.which is much safer ;like my existing inverter;24vdc.I am felling pressured by utility for a HI VOLTOGE INVERTER which is dangurious for my grand kids;up to 480vdc;.Linman may be safer but not my grand kids,dog and me! I strictly picked my inverter because of my grand kids safety.Utility dosen't seem to be as concern as I am
-
its the same here in the UK. this setup has all the correct paperwork as does my other it is a lot cheaper to get the systems without but you cant get paid for them like i get paid for these

I have a1.4kw system in U.S. state Ga. ,a 1.2kw inverter selfinstalled on my house 3yr.operating.Utilitycontacted me about a yr ago after It appears there smart meter sent them a message I have solar panels. Ga power called me and instructed me that I would have to disconneced my solar panels from my home because my inverter dosn't have a UL1741 sticker.In Ga you are required to have a much moore expensive inverter. My existing inverter has anti-islanding and maney other safety features.

it doesn't it only generates power during the day you use power from the grid at night or if you are using more power than its generating, it kind of uses the grid like a battery if you arnt using the power its generating then your neighbors will use it if you are using more power than its generating then you get it off the grid. its total automated you cannot tell the difference between using grid power and using solar power.
-
sory if my question is stupid but if the power is directly going into main ac ... how does that work at night when there is no battery attached ?
-
@101ruski there are no batteries it turns the power from the solar panels straight into mains ac to use in the house.
-
Nice system, It is really neat unlike some people make them. But what type of battery bank do you have and how many batteries do you have?
-
@TheIvomendonca you can plug them in just like any appliance but your not really supposed to they are designed to be wired on their own breaker and should not be attached to a ring main. This mainly applies for the bigger units over 1kw.
-
@birdwing98 ok i pay about 7p per KW from grid i get paid around 43p per KW. the system has been up 1 year bearing in mind i have two not just this one and i have revived about £1500 so at this rate it will be paid for in 6 - 7 years and if i sell the house the new owner will keep reviving the cheque every 3 month
-
What is the cost for a unit of power from the grid? What income has your system produced? (units x cost)? Will system warranties transfer to new owner if you sell the house? How many years until system pays for itself? Beautiful system you have.
-
Great system!!! can you please send me a link as to where i can purchase a one of those 36v panels.....Thanx
-
@dekonfrost7 this system has 9 x 36v panels connected in series to give 320v DC. The inverter then turns the DC into AC by running it through a transformer to make it have the correct AC output the inverter monitors the frequency of the incoming mains power and matches it, it also monitors the incoming voltage and gives off a voltage a few volts higher than the grid so all the appliances use the inverters power instead or first this is why they don’t work on power failure
