    I have come across Growatt SPF 3000TL LVM-24P units. MPP Solar inverters are not available in UK. Otherwise I have to resort to 2x1500 or 2x2000W inverters but then I need two cheaper MPPTs. This would still be cheaper than expensive 2500W inverter.

    ok, in this case I have to go for a AIO system I think Victron MultiPlus-II 48/5000/70-50 https://www.victronenergy.com/upload/documents/Datasheet-MultiPlus-II-inverter-charger-EN.pdf and up the array to 6x 480W panels.

    Does this 48V system look viable? 1. Victron 150V 70A MPPT https://www.victronenergy.com/upload/documents/Datasheet-SmartSolar-charge-controller-MPPT-150-70-up-to-150-100-VE.Can-EN.pdf 2. Victron Energy Phoenix Inverter 48/3000 Smart...

    Thank you, I will definitely lookup for these models/makers.

    Does it mean 48V system should be considered over 2000W? I mean because there is a gap between 2000W and 3000W according to your recommendation let's say if my usage would be 2500W. This is exactly where my issue was/is. I reckon I go under 2000W so stick to 24V. In the next iteration I look...

    I start with a very basic hybrid system when I hit low solar production and baterries are depleted I simply switch from PV to grid using a transfer switch. I calculated the the power demand for half of the house - a laptop, a computer and a microwave. I reckon for a washing machine, fridge...

    Right, I see you advocate for All-in-one system. Am I right that these can handle up to 140VAC so there is no room for growth similar to Victron 150/100 I picked. Thanks for the Midnight's string calculator. You are right with 6 panels this would blow up the 150Vac charge controller in winter so...

    Hi, My design is as follows. 4 x 460W panels in 2S2P configuration, 2 panels in series facing South East and 2 panels in series facing South West - I reckon this is going to help to even out the generation. I don't think like 45 degree but maybe 30 degree or even less. 1840W 98Voc in 2S2P...
