Duel axis tracker foundation

Finally we have had a dry week so concrete was laid today for the two support pipes.

After returning from holiday I've managed to fit in two full days.

Day 1 was spending 8hrs erecting the metal shed that is supposed to take 2hrs.

Day 2, today, was mounting the tracker poles and running cables from the battery shed to each tracker. Both trackers have a 2 core DC cable for the solar feed and an AC power cable to power the controller and arms. The tracker closest to the shed also has a data cable ready for a TIGO TAP optimizer setup.

Still loads to do.

Run a armour cable from the battery shed to the house.
Place all my assembled stud framing into the battery shed for the inverter, switch gear, PV combiner and consumer unit.
Final fix wiring in the battery shed
Buy in the Fox ESS inverter and battery cube
Assemble and fit the solar panel frames to the top of the tracker poles.

The last one is going to be exciting with 200kg of panels plus frame swinging 10ft off the ground so I'd better do that on a windless day. That's a way off yet.

Cracking on with the project.

All stud work and first fir electrics installed into the battery shed with combiner box, consumer units and switch gear all wired. An appointed qualified electrician will complete the final fix of the inverter wiring and the incoming (from generator) and outgoing (to house) AC cabling.

Now onto laying down the house feed with 10mm cable.
