That's an amazing output wow. When it comes to solar panels bigger is better :OP I was thinking of buying the 340-watt panel instead of having 5 panels maybe just having one or two.I don't need a huge array since I'm not running my whole house.

[@SuperSushidog]

I have 8 Sungold Power 550w single facial panels on the roof of my motorhome. These bifacial ones look the same size as mine but are much heavier, having glass on both sides. I couldn't imagine myself, at 67 yrs. old lifting them on the roof of my motorhome like I did mine. It's a 2-man job for sure. That said, I'm sure you will be as happy with their performance as I am with mine.

[@BradCagle]

That awesome. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@johnmal5975]

Now that's a panel. Wow impressive!

[@BeeneEnergy]

Love these massive panels. Getting 560w actual from a single panel is insane. Too bad they stuck that specs label on the back blocking so many cells! Usually they’ve been putting little ones between the junction boxes.

[@BradCagle]

I was thinking about pealing the label off :) But yeah wild getting 570w on a cloudy day.

[@BeeneEnergy]

@@BradCagle Absolutely crazy. After seeing that performance you were getting it makes me think my new array might have been current limited today. I was seeing 12.9 amps and the max output was 534W out of each 565W panel. They are at about 20 degrees facing south.

[@stuartstuart866]

OMG, that’s impressive. I can’t wait to see charge the times on your solar generators.

[@mickwolf1077]

I picked up 2 580w panels and will need to mount them, they are massive. It was difficult enough mounting 250w panels by myself.

[@tacticaladvance]

As it is Bifacial put something reflective on the other side with a 6-8inch gap to see if this improves production. It would be interesting to see if it makes a difference.

[@FJRyder]

Can't wait to see the solar tracker V2.0

[@securenc1]

I'd love to have an array of these bad boys. Problem is - i don't have a 40-acre field to put them 😂😂😂

[@BradCagle]

🤣Good one 😆

[@johnperry5960]

That thing is an absolute monster. Both in size weight and power output

[@BradCagle]

Indeed it is :)

[@patrickcoyne1292]

and i’m over here happy with my 345w panels

[@BenMitro]

That is great news about experimenting with the bifacial panels. I wonder what sort of power they would generate being setup 90 degrees to the sun but with light, white reflectors reflecting into both sides of the panel. Much easier to move light reflectors than the solar panels...

[@BradCagle]

Man I really do want to play with some vertical bifacial. I've seen some experimentations with it, but I really think reflection from adjacent rows of panels may help, but I have not seen anyone experiment with multiple rows. Reflectors would be super fun. What do you think would be practical, and long lasting as reflector material? Thanks

[@paulm3538]

@@BradCagle Acrylic mirror panels from Amazn.

[@BenMitro]

@@BradCagle There is some corrugated plastic panels we can get at our Bunnings hardware store . They come in 8 x 4 sheets and various thickness from 3mm to 8mm. If you go for the 8mm (1/3") thick ones, however you will need a strong frame to support against even the gentlest of wind as they are super light. None the less, they are cheap, polypropylene I think and white. With this approach you can set the PV permanently in place and move the reflectors to adjust for optimal power. As you (and most of us) will mount a bifacial panel, there will be very little light coming in from the other side. Maybe this idea is just BS, but would be a very interesting experiment for bifacials.

[@ocloudx]

I have a question, is there a microinverter that can match this 560W panel?

[@tlteal]

What did you end up doing with this panel?

[@MisterPikol]

dang what a beast

[@jessefincham8899]

He just made this to show his master fabrication skills 😂

[@jasonbroom7147]

Is there such a thing as too big, for a single panel? You would definitely want two people to safely install panels that big. Really impressive output, though!

[@aldemar.bernal]

Why don't you install those in a vertical way facing west-east; I've heard they generated more in that way and they kept cleaner as well, even in winter they don't get blocked by snow. I think the reason those have those wind measurement is because they are mean to be installed vertically.

[@BradCagle]

That would be fun, I've wanted to experiment with vertical, hmm.

[@tech4nation121]

Wow thats a really great solar panel! What do you think about putting it on a camper roof? 70lbs is gonna be a disaster if it flies off! Lol

[@BradCagle]

Yeah, I'm not sure LOL. That would certainly be bad if it came off 😬

[@Dimythios]

You know that to get that much wattage is to increase the size of the panel... Right???? Also I am glad you are working on your solar panel station.

[@BradCagle]

Yes, of course :) Thanks

[@2hotscottpro]

Same size as 525 CC panels.😊Seen 2400 watts with 2s2p Same weight too.

[@BeeneEnergy]

Yes and no though. Couple years ago something this size was 520-530w. These newer cells are in fact putting out a bit more power!

[@BradCagle]

@@BeeneEnergy True. Do you think it's the busbars config on the cells increasing the power? This one has 11 across each cell.

[@BeeneEnergy]

@@BradCagle I think it’s the newer “N” type cell. Haven’t looked to see what that means but seems to be newer tech in play.

[@mattyb7607]

70 LB! what a beast.

[@BradCagle]

Yeah, It's massive LOL

[@dennisdickinson8337]

You should show amps Please

[@dperreno]

What really bothers me about this solar panel "power race" is that often the increases in power per panel are being driven by larger panels! Well duh! I have 15 year old panels on my roof and recently a company proposed replacing them with newer, higher power panels, but when I actually looked at the specs, my older panels were more efficient than the panels they were quoting, but theirs were bigger. Huh. I was actually impressed that mine were so efficient (and disappointed that the new ones were not more so).

[@Richard-nb4iv]

university students in Toronto tracked about 10-12 different arrays that varied in size and cost. The end results where very interesting as the smallest and cheapest array almost made as much power as the largest and most expensive array, coming in at second place. The conclusion was that most of the panels didn't live up to the advertised efficiency. I wish I remembered the brand of the cheaper panels. 😢

[@goodcitizen4587]

Why test on a cloudy day? Did you not have time?

[@BradCagle]

Man we've just not had any real clear days, and I figured today was my best shot considering we have more rain starting tomorrow. I think it worked out considering we pull over the rated wattage on a cloudy day :) When I get a picture perfect day, I'll drag it out again. Thanks

[@meilyn22]

$1600 for 4 solar panels? Come on!

[@BradCagle]

Yeah, you really have to buy a good quantity to get a nice price. Probably the shipping, these two showed up on a pallet to my house. Thanks

[@jab376]

NO Sir. Just too much for most of us out here. You keep that BEHEMOTH.

[@USA-GreedyMenOfNoIntegrity]

475W were too much for me. Went back down to 405W! Enjoy back surgery.

[@4evermetalhead79]

How so? Was it due to size?

[@pearlrival3124]

@@4evermetalhead79 more so the weight

[@USA-GreedyMenOfNoIntegrity]

@@4evermetalhead79 Both. Bifacials don’t have the center support and our slightly flimsier too. If you don’t have a white or mirror reflective surface behind bifacials and have them at least 3 to 5 feet off the ground you’re wasting your time thinking you’re going to get more power out of them. Stick with standard panels under 430 W and your back will last longer.

[@user-dc2ot2tj2b]

in africa they cal it magic licht so they steal it from the streath and put it in there home and later they trow it ouside next the road why because it lost his magic many are the same like this african they must have it and when they have they do not know what to do with it. maybe de vodo school can help

[@davef.2329]

Good heavens, that's ridiculous!! Way too big and heavy for an old fart (like me) to be shlepping around...

[@BradCagle]

Yeah, I hear ya. Not something you want to be shlepping around, at any age :) Thanks

[@user-dc2ot2tj2b]

the ultimate stupidety is? putting it on video.

[@VintageJoeStalin]

The idiocy of this guy taking a box cutter to cut across the cardboard box with a solar panel underneath pretty much tells you all you need to know about whether or not this guy has any useful information whatsoever to share with anyone about anything.

[@BradCagle]

I pulled the cardboard away from the panels as I was cutting. But even if it was right on it, what do you think it would do? Cut the glass in half? LOL

[@meilyn22]

Wow! What a rude comment.

[@BradCagle]
