Sanyo Hit-N system instaleed, results

[Gary K]

Have had my Sanyo system running for 2 weeks tomorrow consisting of 16 x N240SE10 panels with a sunnyboy inverter and so far it has made 116kwh. Orientation SSW 41 degree pitch with no shading. Best day so far was Saturday with the sunnybeam showing a lovely smooth curve and a production of 18.6kwh

Interesting seeing what your best reading was, where are you located? I'm on the England / Scotland border with a 3.96 Sharp array 51 degrees East so not ideal, but we generated 16kwh on our best day last week and it was by no means a sunny day all day. In fact I can't remember a day in the last fortnight that hasn't had wind and cloud .......

I am just on the outskirts of Norwich in sunny(?) Norfolk

Has anyone actual read the terms and conditions of a 10yr insurance backed warranty? Read em - you'll be surprised.

hmmm all this makes very good reading , but at the same time ,, makes you more confused about what system your looking at .. I am thinking of a system made up of 16 sanyo hit 250h serious and they are telling me a power 1 3.6 aurora invert with 10 year warr , for £12300 inc vat .. but not sure about the invert i think its too small for the system seeing as the sanyo peak power could be %10 higher which means it being around 4.5kw which i think is too high for the invertor , would be nice to hear what you guys think of the invertor /panel match ... thanks

£12.3k including VAT? Absolutely ridiculous price.

As for the inverter, I would say it is a good choice. Your system will occasionally outperform the 4kWp rating but it will be uncommon. Upgrading the size of the inverter would be uneconomical.

hi again , many thanks for your reply biggssolar ,, i have to say that my roof is perfect south and 30 degree pitch and in notts area so should give some good results ,, i think its a great price ,, i did work hard on bringing him down , just going to check one of their installs next week to check the work .. So i take it that even thou you fit a 4kw system , it never really gives you that back only on a few great days ,,

It will produce 4kW but the increase over, for example, 3.68kW is not great. The extra 320 watts occasionally is just not worth it from a financial point of view.

oh one other thing if you all dont mind , this company is saying they wont fit the invertor in the attic space due to high fluctations of temp in there , that could affect the invertor , but i have checked the spec on the aurora , and it says it will work in temp -25 to +60 i can never see my loft getting anywhere near that heat in the uk .. does anybody else have views on this matter .. thanks in advance .
