[RE-wrenches] Spacing between ground mounted sub-arrays at 48.5 degrees N latitude

Wrenches: I have a customer who wants 40 solar modules on ground mounts (not poles) in an area that slopes to the ESE at 7 degrees. Putting these modules on one ground mount assembly so that the modules are in a 0 degree slope East to West would leave the east end about 20 feet in the air.

I use Sketchup for these calculations now. It will do real shadows at any time of any day you want. If you are not familiar with it, send me the exact Google Earth coordinates and I will mock something up for you. On Sun, Feb 16, 2014 at 5:35 PM, Bob Clark bcl...@solar-wind.us wrote: Wrenches:

I second Chris's suggestion of Sketchup. Its very easy to use and does a great job modeling stuff like this. There is a free version from Google that is more than adequate for this. Good luck. On Sun, Feb 16, 2014 at 3:08 PM, Chris Mason cometenergysyst...@gmail.comwrote: I use Sketchup for

I third the use of Sketchup. I use it every day from design, to presentation, to permitting, to construction documents. Below are links to a few images of a recent 3D model I did. The goal here was to have a 10 degree tilt angle and have no shade on the next row on December 21 at 9:00am. Turns

[RE-wrenches] AC Backfeed from Radian.

Wrenches, I have an off-grid installation with an Outback Radian using a Kohler RES 13 for backup. The generator has had problems from day one and has had control boards replaced and other work done on it. This system started out with a Magnum 4024AE but was undersized for the loads and

Re: [RE-wrenches] Spacing between ground mounted sub-arrays at 48.5 degrees N latitude

I did a 246 kW ground mount installation in Simi Valley with an 11 degree slope ESE... Same issue as what you are facing. You can easily see the system from satellite images: ~1 mile north of HWY 118 at Kuehner Dr exit in Simi Valley, CA. We used Unirac's ULA rack system with 40 rack

[RE-wrenches] AC Backfeed from Radian.

If you can get the serial number off the generator for me I can access kohler and get some info as a kohler dealer. The new ones are having controller issues and there is an updated controller. When meeting with the generator tech ask them if they transferred the setting from the previous

Jason, Thanks for the quick response. I didn't actually connect the autostart wires myself so I will double check tomorrow to make sure we attached to the Aux relay and not the Aux 12v terminals on the Radian. The system has been running for almost a year and at times was working
