Solar

[Klause]

Actual production here in Saskatchewan.



3 banks of 12 panels. Fronius inverter.

790vdc input. 230v single phase output


Maximum licensed production = 13,340 watts (13.34kw/hr).

First, current production, Thanksgiving Sunday at 3 pm partly cloudy 70km an HR winds, 11,900 watts = 11.9kw/hr.


365 days received from grid.

Keep in mind pump, water heaters, electric water heater and electric furnace.

Now, power delivered to the grid.

Looks good to me.

Numbers like that are probably why theyre starting to not want people feeding back into the grid!

Will take you 3 more years and it will paid for?

[furrowtickler]

Actually impressed to see real life numbers relevant to this part of the world .
Will be interesting to see how cost / lifespan turn out .

Been asking for real data from northern latitude solar output for 2 weeks
From Sweden , Finland , Russia .... you know climates similar to most of Canada ..... not Australia...... and zippo ... zero from the self proclaimed experts .... again thx

[malleefarmer]

Battery for storage?

I’ve always wondered about the cost of solar but whenever I try penciling it out it’s kinda a hard sell, so in Saskatchewan you still have a power bill but pretty small, how about insurance, what will the panels produce in 10 or 20 years? From what I gather a 40 thousand KW Per year system will cost about 80 grand, I’ve seen a few systems pop up here and there but I haven’t seen any on people that I know.

I’m guessing most people’s reply would be solars the best and greatest investment ever, kinda like geo thermal or the pigeon king.

If Chuck had delivered this information, this post would be on page ten already.....from him being attacked and he defending himself.

I would need to compare those readings to what this farm uses in a year.

Maybe it would be nice to know how much the taxpayer contributed to the build of system...

[farmaholic]

I want zero maintenance, zero depreciation, zero replacement cost. That buried cable servicing our yard sure is convenient for the price I'm paying.

Klause, there is a lot of information missing here.

#1. When was the first day of prod’n for these meters? As in ground zero.
#2. What does 365 represent, is that prod’n days, usage days, total days of operation.
#3. is this a year’s data, a day’s data?
#4. What was total cost of the system?
#5. How much taxpayer money was received?
#6. Actual prod’n here in Saskatchewan. Where in Sask. South East?

Please explain the data on the meters. What is 46000 kw/hr delivered?
Does the r on the meter mean reversed?

This data is kinda like climate change data. ( Incomplete information and leading to incorrect assumptions.)
