Today at 10:00 AM, the installation of our new photovoltaic system began.

The approval from the city was granted last week.

Currently, the substructure (Schletter) is being installed.
Tomorrow, the panels will be mounted and the strings routed into the house.

Further electrical installation / inverter setup has not yet been scheduled.

I will keep you updated.

This is an info thread to show how long this process takes, from the first bracket on the roof to commissioning.

Best regards,
Thorsten

@Toxicmolotov which logger do you use?

Do you mean the hardware or the software? Both are the inverter manufacturer's in-house solution. In other words, the Fronius inverter logs the data itself using an S0 meter; the data is sent online to Solarweb, and the screenshots come from the Fronius Android app.

How much did your "toy" cost in total? Maybe broken down a bit?
I think this question hasn’t been answered yet, and I’m also interested in that. And of course, the planned payback period.

This is a leased facility.

The operating company is based in Hamburg.

Taking all costs minus electricity yield into account, it is expected in the forecast that my expenses on January 1st will be about the same as before for electricity consumption. Therefore, I cannot calculate a payback period.

The payback was not my main motivation for installing the system.

I can only roughly estimate the price at around 13,000–14,000 euros.

So would you say it is sufficient? For calculating self-consumption, etc.? I am considering whether I need a logger for my photovoltaic system. It looks like I will probably use Winaico modules with a Fronius inverter.

Values from yesterday until midnight. I’m currently unable to upload the image.

The logger is integrated on my side, featuring excellent images and graphics.

As I mentioned, I expect to reach about 1.1 over the year.

Daily yield: 34.41 kWh

Own consumption: 10.31 kWh

Battery charging: 2.58 kWh

Feed-in to grid: 24.10 kWh

Self-sufficiency rate: 86 %

Self-consumption rate: 30 %

Direct consumption rate: 22 %
