Finally i'm starting with solarpanels (zonnepanelen) on the bwired roof
I found a company "Met de Zon" who delivers nice set for a very good price.
http://www.zonnepanelen.nl

I'm starting with 5 solarpanels 240 watt Tendens (dutch made) zonnepanelen.nl/panelen/zonnepaneel-240 ... ndens.html
These panels measure 166 x 998 x 40, 22kg

The converter will be the:

Eindelijk komen er zonnepanelen op het Bwired dak
Ik heb een bedrijf gevonden genaamd "Met de Zon" http://www.zonnepanelen.nl
Ik begin met 5 Tendens zonnepanelen van 240 Watt per stuk. zonnepanelen.nl/panelen/zonnepaneel-240 ... ndens.html
Tendens is een zonnepaneel die in Nederland wordt gemaakt http://tendenssolar.com, de afmetinge zijn 166 x 998 x 40, 22kg.

Binnen 2 weken levert MetdeZon mij de panelen en ga ik ze zelf installeren op mijn dak (foto's etc. volgen)
Gelukkig heb ik nog 2 aparte groepen vrij, dus ik kan vooruit.

Opbrengst ga ik uitlezen met een Solar Plugwise Circle en met de bluetooth piggyback die in de Sunny Boy SMA1200 zit sma.de/en/products/solar-inverters/sunn ... -3000.html. Natuurlijk laat is alles realtime zien op Bwired.
Check out de prijzen van MetdeZon, deze zijn bijna gelijk aan die van de stichting "wijwillenzon"
zie hier de sets

I'm looking forward to see your progress. I own a system of 10 x 185 Watt and satisfied with the power delivered. I hope to publish my data also real-time in the future but first some other projects.

Nice project !

Such a shame that my roof location is the worst for solar panels ;-(

Sounds good.
My panels will also be delivered in twee week.
I'm looking for a company that can install the panels for me.

? do it yourself, like I do

I like to...
But it's a bit to heavy for my back
You are welcome to help..

@Enver
You have a flat roof as I recall, that even more easy.
I think you need a seperate group also

@ Enver & Bwired:
I think there are some people on this forum willing to give you a helping hand (Also for the experience)
'vele handen maken licht werk'

If you need a hand let me know.

I witnessed how they placed the panels on my roof last year in November. It was not the best weather at that moment but it was a hard job. I was happy that I outsourced the placement of the panels. The person who did the install told me that a flat roof is even more work. You also have to got all the tiles on the roof.

yep the tiles is a dirty job.....but somebody got to do it
I use the clickfit system http://www.click-fit.nl which works great.
I'm also lucky, i dont have a flat roof, but i have a big dormer (dakkapel) of almost 6 meters where i can stand on.
The 5 solarpanels fit exactly above the dormer.
Downside is that i can place less panels there, i have 2 roofs to compensate.

any help is welcome...when I do it by myself.
I have a separate group available..

I wil check how much work it is.
Since the roof is flat there is special frame that need to be installed.

At my site the installation of the 10 panels was done bij 2 person. It tooks them in total 26 hours.

Well if you do it yourself there is no rush, you can do one each day (if the weather is nice in the evening hours) or just one in a weekend. I know you want them up and running asap but there is no real need.

I've been looking at the solar panels as well but am not sure if I could install them myself. Some pictures of the installation process would be nice. Especially how to connect things up.
