Hyundai Solar - 248W Monocrystalline Solar Panel & M215 Micro-Inverter Review

Now that I have my Solar Panel and microinverter installed and operating, I thought I would write a review of the system.

First, I purchased this system to experiment with solar power in order to see how much energy could be generated at my home in rural Illinois. I intend to keep it operating over the course of a year or more to see how it performs.

Second, let me say that the system arrived to two separate packages, both shipped from California. The solar panel was extremely well packaged in reinforced cardboard with multilayers of packing, and arrived in great condition. The inverter was also well packaged.

In order to get the system operational, I had to purchase some additional parts and materials. The DC output cables from the solar panel connect directly to the input cables of the inverter. The output of the Enphase inverter has a unique connector for the 240 VAC. I had to purchase an Enphase cable with a mating connector and a terminator for the cable. I also purchased a tool for removing the connector since the connectors lock in place once they are mated.

I already had an unused 240V circuit with a breaker in my home power box that I used to connect the inverter. I also needed some 240V rated power cable to run from the panel to the power box. I also purchased some copper wire to ground the inverter and the solar panel as recommended.

Because I wanted to measure the energy generated by the panel, I also purchased a used commercial digital energy meter on Ebay. This is the type of meter the power company uses on homes. I connected this into the solar panel circuit to measure the energy being generated by the panel.

In addition to the electrical connection, I also had to mount the panel so that it was oriented correctly to receive the sun's energy. I chose to mount the panel on the ground rather than on my roof since I didn't want to place mounts on my roof unless I was sure the system would be permanent. I fabricated a 2x4 frame to hold the panel and mounted it to two 4x4 posts set vertically in the ground. I mounted the frame to the posts with bolts so that I can pivot the angle of the panel to experiment with the effect of angle on the energy output. I arranged braces for the panel frame so that I could achieve three different angles for testing. A 33 degree angle was calculated to be the best if the panel is kept at the same angle over the entire year. That is the angle I am using to start. I also arranged for angles of 16 degrees and 54 degrees, which are the optimum angles for summer and winter in my location.

The system has been in operation for only 3 days now, and is generating energy as indicated by my energy meter. I am completely satisfied at this point, and look forward to seeing how the system performs over the next year or more.
