WHAT’S NEXT
I’ve only scratched the surface so far on building my PV system. There’s a lot more to discuss about the panels themselves like I-V characteristics, temperature effects, and physically getting the power from the panels to the inverters with minimum loss. I just think this is a good stopping point for now. See you again next month when I’ll continue with more about the system and describe how digging a hole for a pole mount in Connecticut is easier said than done.
