Plug & Play Solar

Any idea of the input you are getting vs the panels you have ?

Any specific details you can share please?

Tested mine ready for the 27th.

Two 415w panels lying flat on the ground partial shade pulling 116w and 143w respectivley, so 261watts total. This will cover my houses base load from the 27th onwards. (Fridge/router), not worried about excess going back to the grid.

I have a seperate 415w (x2) set up for my 12 Kw Jackery powerstation and a 200w set up for the E1000w one

Finally pulled the plug on ordering 2x130w flexible panels for my Bluetti Elite 100 v2 as an upgrade to my existing Allpowers 60w foldable panel.

Will get them out at the weekend and see what they can do.

Well they work, was up the side of Loch Ness, on mixed cloudy/sunny interval days. I attached them in parallel, with a pair of Y splitters and joined to a 3m MC4 to XT60 connector into the power station.

Best in late morning result was a constant 197w (about 11ish) when had a short period of full sun for about 20 minutes, but were producing 100w to 120w under mixed sun and cloud, 40w to 50w under light cloud which fell to 20w to 25w when raining.

Overall happy with performance

Two 215w panels. Connected in series to one channel of a Hoymiles HMS-800W-2T.

Overcast today, so generating 70ish watts.
