That is certainly efficient and rather neat.

You're 100% correct on that one!

Wow. That sounds fantastic and what I am looking for too. I have enough sunlight here to get away with the panels I have on most days although, December and January (when you probably need it most) it can be iffy. I will have to cost the whole thing and run some forecasts as my peak and...

12.5p is a good rate! I am 0.19€ peak power and 0.14€ off peak here in France! Plus 19€ a month standing charge for the pleasure...

What a well written article. Thank you for sharing it with me 😌

Thank you for your sound advice. Looks like the Valhalla may be obtainable however at a price which far outweighs the risks or any ROI. So, best to look at what I have and try to improve things by increasing battery storage and way I use the batteries along with the time of year. I have...

Thank you. My installer told me that I had to identify what circuits I wanted should the power fail and he would pull them from the electrical cabinet and feed them them through as to a seperate board so that, in the event of a power failure, I could pull a switch and onoy these circuits would...

Thank you

There will be some differences but overall, what I am asking, should not differ between countries that much. We'll see ..

Answering my own question here as I know that I can run the system from batteries and top up on cheap rate as required - cost of the battery required to do this may be too prohibitive though but we shall see. More the point is how to seamlessly manage to switch over to battery power in the...

I am perhaps looking for the impossible or, if not impossible, a system that would be too expensive to ever give a return on the investment. I am connected to the grid and, with my 21 panels I produce more electricity over the year than I use (or I think I do based on forecasts). I have a 3kW...

Hello, New member from the Rhône-Alpes region in France. I have had a solar array of 21 panels for a few months now with two circuits, one through an Imeon hybrid inverter feeding a 3kw battery and the second via Enphase micro inverters going directly to the house. All excess goes to the...
