Hi,
Newbie here from UK, read a lot on this forum and YT but very much still learning!
My scenario is wanting to add DIY battery storage as stage 1, and solar as stage 2, installed in remote garage (45 metres away) but connected to house (+ grid tied at house only). House roof not suitable for solar but detached garage is. I've done a sketch as attached of the layout, everything existing except the orange bits. I want to be able to charge the battery storage at night (called Economy 7 in UK), and feed back to the house during the day. Stage 2 of the project will then be to add solar to the garage roof which has a suitable roof (house roof isn't an option).
Main question is this even possible, and what if anything do I need to add to control things within the house? I can add some more details like loadings etc if needed.
Any advice much appreciated, Thanks!
