Question for all you solar experts
I have ordered a 250 watt Sharp 24 volt Solar panel. Now for my question. I would like to use a Morningstar Sun Saver 15 MPPT controller. The problem is that the sales person said that the 15 amp MP...

Nice work! I see you basically built another frame under the module's aluminum frame. Also, added a cross member in the center. That should all give it plenty of strength. IIRC, these bigger modules are wind rated to some kind of hurricane scale and that is typically mounting with only 4 attachment points.
You may have to swap out the front windows with some mirror glass to get those extra watts from the reflection, lol.:B As built, you should get some additional reflection addition, if aligned into the sun right.
I think you're going to really like solar, if you haven't tried it. I'm seeing really good battery health using mine. Also, no generator and all the nonsense that goes along with that (if you have a big enough system). If you're going with 500w of modules and 400AH of battery bank, you should really only have to use a generator for AC, if necessary. I'm still looking for a cooling option that can be used with a small solar system. Hydronic may be the answer, it will take me more time to figure out.
