Hi all! Looking to build my first proper solar system for my house, which at this moment looks like this (in my imagination):
Anyway, I realise that's a bit vague, but thought listening to a few war stories from you fine people might be able to give me some ideas....
TIA!
- Off-grid / hybrid inverter(s) - don't mind if it's one big unit, or parallel smaller units
- Automatic transfer switch for grid backup (it's Scotland, after all...)
- 8kW array, eventually
- Somewhere between 14-28kWh battery storage
- Battery topped up by the grid at night when electricity is cheap (see above Scotland comment)
- AC power requirement: somewhere between 12-18kW continuous (max)
Anyway, I realise that's a bit vague, but thought listening to a few war stories from you fine people might be able to give me some ideas....
TIA!
