Solos Solar Array production stats – August 2025

August is the month where we complete one year of metrics tracking for my solar projects. Soon I will put together some charts showing the overall year comparing month to month statistics.

Once I upgrade my array it should make next years charts really show the difference, but I am looking forward to seeing the seasonal difference we had through 2024 and into 2025 in the meantime.

Array-C has been working well, supporting machines used inside the building. And soon I will be starting to rebuilding Array-A and Array-B adding more solar panels.

In the month of August we produced 1546 kWh (1.54 Mwh) on the farm.

Array A production stats:

Load: 1935.2 kWh
PV: 360.5 kWh
Grid Import: 1768.9 kWh
Battery Charge: 117.6 kWh
Battery Discharge: 13.3 kWh

Array A build:

System Size = 5.5 kWp DC
Panels = Sungoldpower Monocryalline 60 cell (12 Panels, 450 Watts each)
Mounting System = Brightmount EG4 screwed into 6x6 timbers

Grid Import: 0 kWh
Battery Charge: 91.5 kWh
Battery Discharge: 77 kWh

Array C build:

System Size = 9 kWp DC
Panels = Eco-worthy Bifacial 190W (2 strings of 48 panels running at 275v each)
Mounting System = 12 Eco-worthy Multi-panels mount holds four panels each.
Wiring: 2x 8 AWG 19 strand PV direct bury wire pair
Inverters = Sol-Ark 15k all-in-one (240V)

Battery Backup = 3x Pytes V5 batteries
Battery Management system = Built in Pytes BMS
Battery Capacity = 15 kWh (272AH)

Totals combined for all arrays (A+B+C):

1546 kWh (1.54 Mwh) produced for the month of August
