Hello everyone

[Ant]

Just a little information about our project, we are building a timber framed straw bale house in southwest France, We are planning a 3kw solar system to power our house
if anyone has any recommendations for panels, batteries etc in France or Europe or if you have experience of ordering items from aliexpress for delivery to France it would be good to have your feedback

alibaba is delivery in France at a cheap price, so you can easily get the batteries from china.
for the the panel, you should be able to have them direclty from europe, because panels are huge and heavy, so sourcing locally
could be better. In germany you can find cheap solar panels.
3KW to power a house is a bit tiny, unless you want an off-grid life style.
I am in Switzerland.
