Some thoughts and experience by isotopp on solar panels and batteries

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/12/23

For my link archive the thread leading up to [Wayback/Archive] Kris on Twitter: “@mterwoord @mausdompteur Das ist ein 15 kWh LFP-Klotz, der Problemlos ins Kabuff neben den Inverter passt und nicht im Weg ist. Nachdem ich nun noch einmal 21% BTW von den 10100 Euro Solarpanels zurück bekommen habe wäre das Ding also praktisch unter 5000 Euro zu haben. Ein No-Brainer quasi.”

I wonder if east-west facing vertical bi-facial solar panels are now more used often as they are just as efficient as south facing standard units

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/09/02

Two years back there was the below quoted interesting German twitter thread.

Hopefully by now more bi-facial installations are used as they are just as efficient but take up less ground space.

There are now two maximum peaks in the morning and evening, which makes them relatively more productive outside the summer periods thereby more evenly spreading energy production over the year.

I think that last bit is especially important.

Smart idea: (re)use a solar panel as balcony power plant table

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/20

Still to do for Michael: put the inverter on the underside of the table-top.

[Wayback/Archive] Michael Eberhard on Twitter: “Nachdem wir eh einen neuen Tisch auf unserer Dachterrasse brauchten, gibt es nun einen Balkonkraftwerk-Tisch. Bloß der Wechselrichter muss noch unter der Tischplatte verträumt werden.”

The picture is below; this is the part list: [Wayback/Archive] Michael Eberhard on Twitter: “@TuckiTina @MatthiasVialon AlphaSolar Komplettpaket ca. 500€ Ikea Tischbeine 60€ Holz aus dem Bestand.” / Twitter

  • AlphaSolar full system ~500€
  • Ikea Table legs ~60€
  • Spare wood

Yield is not bad: [Wayback/Archive] Michael Eberhard on Twitter: “@truewhitemount Ich habe einen einfachen Zähler dazwischen. Gerade jetzt produziert der Tisch zwischen 180 und 230 Watt. In Summe bin ich im den letzten Tagen auf 0,6 – 0,8 kWh pro Tag gekommen. Noch ist die Motivation da, jeden Abend den Zähler abzulesen…” / Twitter
