Ocho Rios solar — the install drawings

23.43 kW PV · 2 × SPI-12K-UPRO · 48 kWh LiFePO4 · zero export · 50 Hz

Three pages. The roof is where the power is made and where the strings and the earthing get decided. The wall is where it is turned into something the house can use. The buy list is what still has to be paid for.

Step one · on the roof

Roof array plan

33 modules, four strings, five rail groups, and every cable on the roof.

  • Click a module for what comes in and goes out of it
  • Click a string for its series order and its voltage against the 500 V ceiling
  • Switch TOPCon / HJT and watch every number move
  • Switch the rail direction and watch the bonding change

Step two · in the plant room

Plant room wall

Both inverters, the combiner, three battery cabinets, the switchgear and 35 cable runs, drawn to scale.

  • Click any box for its insides, terminal by terminal
  • Click any circuit line for how many conductors are really in it
  • A 17-step install mode, in the order the job gets done
  • Ten questions for the electrician

Step three · money

Buy list

Every line, with what is paid for, what is sitting in the basket, and what is waiting on an answer.

  • Filter by bought / in cart / not yet / blocked
  • Search a part number
  • Generated straight from CART.md, so it cannot drift

Where the two drawings meet

One 1¼″ cast-in chase, nine conductors. On the roof plan it leaves the junction box at the head of the access gap; on the wall plan it arrives at the DC SPD box, which is mounted directly under it so the surge path to the arresters is as short as it can be.

In the chaseRoof plan calls itWall plan calls it
8 × 4 mm² PV four strings, two cores each, leaving the junction box 4 STRINGS FROM ROOF → DC SPD box → four 2P-25 A breakers → four MPPTs
1 × 16 mm² green/yellow the whole bonding network, collapsed to one downlead ARRAY BOND DOWN THE CHASE → main earth bar

⚠ The chase position is still unconfirmed. It is drawn on the roof plan at the junction box because that is where it should be. If the plant room turns out to be somewhere else, every home-run length on the roof plan changes.
