So I have had solar for my house for a year and it has been great. I live in Florida so we have to "be connected" to the grid, but thats my only cost. Originally when i was discussing battery systems with the installer it was about 15k (which i thought was crazy. I have been watching Will Prowse...
Ok this is great info i will investigate and read up what all i have. I do remember discussing the need to have an auto-transfer on whatever we went with(ATS built in).
No this is good info, - Correct i would not power the whole house, i think our system is very similar an dprobably our usage. I have a 15kw system, but i would signifacntly use less if possible. How does one go about conducting a backup energy audit?
Thats what i thought, but how do you determine what size and what type of inverter, also how close does the stuff have to be to the main panel where the solar stuff is?
Wow, just getting back into this as i had the last few months completing that building i was talking about earlier.
My inverter is a SolarEdge SE7600H-US - I currently have two of them.
Thought it was photovoltaic, just wasn't sure. In florida, on the 15kw system it seems to average about 80kwh due to clouds rain etc. So i was thinking also a 18 to 20 backup system probably similar in size to yours
I appreciate your input.
Natural gas requires there to be someone providing the gas. In florida (orlando) Historically we lose power about 4 to 6 times a year never more then about 8 hours at most unless its a hurricane then it could be a few days.
Personally i wasn't investing in building a...
These are all things that i was not aware of that i would need to dial in when figuring out the cost and items needed for this. So currently i am tied to the grid and "selling back (more like they are stealing but whatever)" unused production at the end of the year so it basically stores it for...
Im not sure of what is good or bad as im still fairly new. here is what i produced this year so far (just discovered i have a monitoring issue half way through november so it only recorded half the month) January it was installed on the 18th so missed over half the month. Its still producing...
