- Cell Leads: Power Jack, IceCream
- Solar at D24 consisted of 12x Canadian Solar 445W Mono-PERC Bifacial Panels (5.34 kWp) loaned from another camp not attending Burning Man 2024.
- These panels were connected in series to form a single string that was directly fed into a Sunny Boy SB-10000TL-US grid-tie inverter
- A 6awg power cable was connected between the inverter and the nearest distribution box, between the legs of the generator phase most utilized during the day.
- The total amperage reduction was about 18-22 amps across one phase.
- Solar Panels were mounted flat on top of two containers
- No cleaning of the panels was performed during the week, resulting in a steady reduction in power output day-to-day.
