G'Day Guy's,
Well running on 3 hours sleep after working night shift last night
and finally got some replies from farcebook market place.6 off 250 watt panels with the mounting rack but no clamps for $500 cash and in the morning 10 off 190 watt panels with all the complete mounting for the same cost as the first.
So for a grand in cash getting 3.4Kw which will all fit on my Outback FM60 MTTP and I'll look around for a cheap MTTP for those old kaneka panels that are lucky to make a Kw a day in full sun
I'm thinking of mounting them on the shed beside the house where 1/2 of the array will get the morning sun and the other 1/2 on the other side of the roof so by mid afternoon the forklift battery on the house array should be fully charged by mid afternoon.
My goal is get it all going cheaper than those pesky ad's saying 3.3Kw for 3K etc.
Just need to work out a solution for the solar cabling and thinking of just asking a local installer to come over so he can learn about off grid installations.
Cheers Bryan
