Well went down the hill and got that 6.6Kw this morning   and found one of the panels had been smashed and the glass was broken also the panel looked completely dead so I said to the gal well 2K and 20 panels so $200 a panel and got that back   so for $1800 6.3Kw a Goodwe grid tie that do 22 amps @ 240 volt and all the rails.

Now for the fun getting it all of my ute as these 330 watt panels are pretty big.

Downloaded the manual and the model of the grid tie is GW5000D-NS and is good for 5Kw and it has 2 MPPT's  so 2 strings. Startup voltage is 80 volts which will mean a nice early startup.

I'm going to get my sparkie mate to wire all this in so both the shearing shed and house can have use thru the day with a battery backup for night use.
