So here is a PV shed flush-mounted install model I recently designed and constructed myself. It took a while to collect all of the necessary funds and costs, but it was all worthwhile in the end I believe. The purpose and passion involved is endless and is the fuel behind my drive to solely get the word across on a positive PV influence! This system was designed to completion for the purpose of a DC-operated light for when my father or I need to retrieve any storage or items for the shed, but unfortunately, the array would not be seen on the south-facing side and faced loads of shading, as well as the north-facing side, which is the side this array is installed on. Still, I went on with installing a model to show the significance and up close detail of a generic, basic PV system. Any questions, comments, concerns, and critics are welcome. I know its not perfect, but I still am sharpening my skills. I used two 100W altE PV panels wired in parallel with #12 AWG and #10 copper EGC, and mounted on the side a Square D QO DC disconnect with a two-pole 20 amp QO series circuit breaker in a raceway that is of 3/4" schedule 40 PVC piping. Structurally, I utilized Unirac L-feet, end clamps, mid-clamps, and rails, along with EcoFasten flashing. Enjoy!
