It's actually a room we use as a study - and there is then a bathroom and an ensuite separating the rooms we use to sleep in (family of 4). Is there an issue with noise / heat / fire risk? I had an alternate location downstairs - and that would place the batteries under my sons bedroom - and...

I'm hoping to get the most from the system - agree that batteries are expensive - so the more I can utilise them the better. They do seem very expensive right now - and I'm hoping that as tech develops - they will drop in price by the time I exhaust the ones I install on day one. I wonder how...

Thanks for all the images MrJMegson - that's some setup you have there! I think I may be able to get up to 8kw on the roof - then a 6kw Hybrid inverter - with the hope of being able to charge and discharge batteries at the rate of the inverter. What are peoples thoughts on ratio of on roof to...

Thanks for getting back to me. So you manage to pull 3Kw no problem I expect from your array of batteries? Interested to hear what users on here can get from their battery / inverter combos. It seems different inverters have different charge / discharge capabilities - but then this is also...

Hi @Ucatchmydrift - your setup sounds spot on - would you mind me asking what components you've utilised? I've been considering solar vs simple battery storage - and have been looking at an 8Kw sunsynk inverter- with 8k solar & then an array of pylontech / sunsynk batteries - a big outlay - but...

Hi folks - has anybody seen what real world discharge rates are possible with 8kW Sunsynk invertor and 1 or 2 or 3 ~ 5.2kWh batteries? The specs say 50A per battery normal (2.5Kw each) - with the ability to surge up to 100A - anybody seen this - so feasibly maxing out the inverter with just...
