This sounds interesting @rk_vc, I think you’re in the right place.
What’s the project for, can you give a bit of background as to why you need such a large system?
- can you do it yourself?
You mean be the project manager? Well, there’s a lot of grunt labour that doesn’t require experienced electricians to do, but you definitely want not just an electrician, but an experience solar installer around for wiring up the inverters and other important stages. A lot of it is quite repetitive, but if you make mistakes it will be very costly and highly dangerous, so I would not be trying to DIY it. You mentioned hiring an electrician, so if you mean for you to pull it all together by sourcing the products and labour, but having professionals there, I guess it’s feasible. Hard work though, to source everything directly and be the project manager. I’m guessing you are on a tight budget?
Regarding products, what’s your goal with the project? Is there an amount of power you are trying to produce, or space that you want to max out? Are you looking for top quality and performance, or more affordable? What’s your budget? Do you want cheapest up front cost, or best ROI? Have you got some pics of the site? Any shading issues? Do you want to monitor the performance on a panel level, or just to see total output?
