PROJECT DETAIL
Objective:
The customer was building a new home and would have had a large cost of connection to the electricity grid. They wanted a system that would be hassle-free and comfortably meet their needs, and to use the latest technology.
Site Considerations:
The shed was the idea place for the system to be installed, with the batteries stacked on top of each other to safe on space. Being in a cold climate area, allowances needed to be made for low solar input in winter.
System Design:
- SMA Sunny Island 8.0 Inverter Charger
- BMZ ESS7.0 lithium-ion battery unit (20kWh)
- 32 x Tindo Solar 260W solar modules
- 2 x SMA Sunny Boy 4000TL
- Tilted roof-mount array framing
