Hi
Looking for advice.
I am planning to install solar and battery to my farmhouse.
I cannot install on the roof due to the age of building so i am planning to mount on a remote barn approx 50m from fuse board. (in roof and in underground ducting)
I am looking for a solar system that obviously supplies inverter with option of adding a battery system.. I am looking at approx 5kwh of battery and 3.5 kwh solar at the moment.
Questions.
1. Any suggestions on type of solar panel, should I be looking at AC or DC panels ?
2. I want to wire panels in seperate groups. maybe with micro inverters. ?
3. Distance to the fuse board 50 m what type of cabling?
4. Any suggestion on inverter types and lithium batteries.
I intend to source and fit panels , cabling and inverters myself with my local electrician connecting up to the system ( which basically means i do the donkey work , they do the skilled work)
I have fitted panels and run all cabling for an offgrid system before, so i am not a novice. That was all with a victron system.
Thank you for any advice.
