[QUOTE="binky, post: 364681, member: 490"] being ground mounted you could take a chance on using power one micro-inverters - bit cheaper than Enphase, and as they are accessible, if one dies it's no big deal. As it happens I've just bought the full one PVsol package so I could model the whole site for you, and it now supports micro-inverters - long overdue! You are dead right about useable energy, 4kW pointing south is good for FiT generation, but giving power when you actually tend to use it, ie mornings and evenings. There's been a few articles about East-West being the new South in the solar press lately as the FiT reduces, but energy bills keep rising. Putting the panels at a low angle will help with this, but will compromise the summer winter performance, which is also when you use more energy. Would be useful to monitor your energy useage - if you ask paddler nicely he might lend you his power analyser. With this info we might be able to tailour you energy production to suite. Would be far more inclined to go ground source than air-source - it has a far better performance ratio. There's a company in Cornwall who will design, supply and commission ground source for you - you fit it yourself. [/QUOTE]
