With Array-C up and running we are now adding a third array to the list of production. But due to the loads being very low for the first month I think the PV production showed low for that array (only 129 kWh). I expect it to show more production once we have more things running inside the storage building.
We also cleaned up by the solar panels a bit, dont mind the grass clippings. They will blow off or when the rains come around they will be removed. I try not to touch the panels not to scratch the glass.
In the month of July we produced 1631.12 kWh (1.63 Mwh) on the farm.

Propane Generator = Briggs and Stratton Power Protect 26kw
Array B production stats:
Load: 1982 kWh

Battery Charge: 328.2 kWh
Battery Discharge: 287 kWh
Array B build:
System Size = 9 kWp DC

Battery Backup = 48 3.2v LiFePO4 290AH batteries (unknown brand)
Battery Management system = Daly Smart BMS 16S 48V 250A
Battery Capacity = 47.328 kWh (870AH)
Propane Generator = Briggs and Stratton Power Protect 22kw
Totals combined for all arrays:
1344.4 kWh (1.34 MWh) produced for the month of May

Great project and thanks for the stats!! Inspiring!
Ah thanks.. glad to share them.
Impressive work! It’s great to see consistent solar energy production—your updates show real commitment to sustainability and clean energy. ☀️🔋🌱
Thanks, yeah I am glad I am writing these reports every month.
Keep harvesting that sunshine.
You got it.. Hope yall capture some good light on the other side of the pond as well.
It's going well here despite mixed weather. I will look at posting my latest stats soon. I ought to automate some of that.
Definitely we'll looking forward it.
thanks, yeah now I have power in there I can make use of it more.

So true, happy to have this setup.
Very cool. I can't wait to see what the actual numbers for array C end up looking like.
Ah thanks.. me too.

That is looking great and production is looking good too! It will be interesting to see how much C produces. I noticed you used a different brand of panels, do you think that will make a difference?
Thanks, yeah it should be interesting to see once I put more of a load on it.
Yeah they are smaller than my others.. since its a smaller array I went with 190W panels.. but they are bifacial so they probably get over 200w each.
$WINE
I didn’t even know there were so many technical parts involved. Also, the part about not scratching the panels with grass clippings made me smile—sounds like real care goes into it.
Yep there is lots too it.. Hah yeah that darn grass always finds a way to try to get in the way.
You're great👍 you've done an amazing project. The progress is also great, slow but sure. Hopefully production will increase in the future. keep up the good work💪
Ah thanks.. will keep working forward more progress.
I did some research online about how much electricity a farm consumes, and damn, that's a lot of production, isn't it, buddy? But yours wasn't a normal farm, I forgot about that XD
Hah yeah well its for two homes right now.. and honestly its not enough.
Oh good luck with more production then 😅
From what I've heard and seen you really have to watch what panels you get. Some are built in a way that even if 10% is in the shade or covered it kills the output of the panel because of how they are interlocked together. While others even if you block 30% the other 70% of the panel still operates like it should producing more steady power. Have you run into this with your setups?
Yep that is true, its known as "shading". If some panels are covered in the string it will reduce the entire string.
I space my panels out quite a bit, enough to drive between them. So shading only happens during the early morning and late evening. Besides that its pretty even.
That’s nice … best investment 😀
indeed it is.
That's a substantial amount of power production. You could theoretically supply power to some of your neighbors (for a fee).
When you make an update on your crypto miners, please reference or excerpt this pot.
Hah I plan on using it all..
Yeah I will do an update when I got the miners all up and running.
I'm not totally familiar how to calculate it but it looks like a solar power. Great job you've been doing well.
Thanks much, its all done by the inverters.
