Hello,
I have an existing Solar PV system which I would like to add a battery to.
I live in the UK and my existing set up was installed with the government Feed-in-Tarriff.
Due to this reason I am unable to change the existing setup without it affecting my feed-in-tarriff.
I am on an Economy 7 tariff with my energy company so I am on about half-rate electricity between the hours of around 00:30 - 07:30
My current inverter is a very old Aurora Power-One PVI-3.6-TL-OUTD.
I would like to install a battery system of about 5-10 KWh and am maybe looking towards this (as it was recommended on this site on another post)
I would also like to install another inverter to help me charge the battery during the night half-rate period or during the day while I have excess solar generation.
This inverter should also provide energy back to the home when the solar generation is not so high (e.g. shaded days or winter times).
Please could someone advise if something like this would be possible for me to do and if so, I would be very greatful for some advice on carrying out this operation.
(Existing setup - This is in my out-house/garage)
