this frame was again built around the pv panel but using a larger CLS.
the larger CLS was i felt too heavy. the frame was more substantial and stiffer but i had difficulty moving it on my own: a requirement is that i need to be able to reposition the frame myself without help.
the blocks for the 8mm bolts were i felt too small. despite countersinking and pre-drilling the holes i damaged the blocks driving in the screws.
i leaned this frame against the side of my cabin at a suitable winter tilt angle of 32/58 deg.
connection:
this iteration runs all 4 of my panels (4 x 400w): more watts:-)
it is winter, the sun is hidden by cloud so not 1,600w: i saw over 900w when the sun was still a little hazed over.
2022-10-27: 2.83Kw generated.
sorry no pics.
onwards to RC1:-)
