The Printers
during publishing may slightly alter the technical drawings scales.
All drawings
in this 2nd edition are from the first edition book (2011, 250w
panels). However, today in 2022 PV panels have become more efficient for their
size, hence the 2nd edition shows higher final outputs with 400w panels.
I recommend
that you obtain your 8off PV panels first before starting to build your PV
panel frames.
IMPORTANT......... PLEASE
ensure that you have the 4off, 4.2m long by 50mm x 30mm steel box section, sufficiently
long enough for your Panels. For Trina
400w panels these 4off 4.2m long will need to be 4.65m long and not 4.2m.
