Solar Panels Ordered But…

Having committed to purchase my solar panel array and system, it did come at a cost. Partially down to my initial reluctance to commit caused by the problems already mentioned, and also down to the solar rush caused by the pending tariff changes – this has forced me to accept a different module to enable the culmination of the order.

Although still a Sanyo panel, the installer informed me that he could not get the more efficient Sanyo HIT-N240SE10 panels in time but could procure the larger HIT-H250SE01.

He also stated the panels would be at the same price as already quoted and that they would also give me a further 74.8 units per annum.

This could well be a good thing as I originally wanted ten of the slightly smaller panels, but due to a roof surface area restriction noted at time of survey it was found that I only had room for eight. So now with the bigger HIT-H250SE01 module I will gain a little more from the space available.

So, to confirm, my order has now been placed and the system will be made up as follows:

8 x Sanyo HIT-H250SE1 modules

The SANYO HIT(Heterojunction with Intrinsic Thin layer) solar cell is made of a thin mono crystalline silicon wafer surrounded by ultra-thin amorphous silicon layers. This product provides the industry’s leading performance and value using state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques.

More Clean Energy

HIT can generate more clean Energy than other conventional crystalline solar cells.

Efficiency 20.8%

Module Efficiency 18.0%

Output / m2 180 W/m2

1 x SMA Sunny Boy SB2000HF Inverter with

Max DC Input Power: 2100W

Graphic display

Bluetooth technology

1 x Schuco Module Mounting System

I have also taken the opportunity to have a full distribution board upgrade at the same time. The current board has long been overdue for an upgrade.
