This might sound a bit mad, but bear with me...
I currently have a shed under some trees but some space on a flat roof that could accommodate some panels. I want to generate a bit of energy to give it some background heat and power some other small items. It seems crazy to be spending money to heat it on a sunny day (it's cold due to the shading.)
So my idea is to have a small off-grid system. But also thinking of the possibility of expanding it and making it on-grid in the future.
After looking at some off-grid kits, it seems much more efficient to design your own... Would something like this work? I'm prepared to be told that this combination of items is ridiculous...!
2 x 400w solar panels
1 x 800w charger/inverter
1 x 100Ah lithium battery
Any advice would be appreciated!
