[QUOTE="Bob Smith, post: 539207, member: 35176"] I have followed a similar train of thoughts. You consider what your acceptable instant power (charge and discharge of the batteries) should be You consider what is your average consumption as well as the variance between summer and winter. If you want to size a system to cover all your winter needs, it will be well oversize for Summer and the other way round if you size for Summer only. You are prepared and understand that you cannot 100% be off grid and that you will need to import electricity either to charge your batteries, or when you instant power needs are higher than what your PV or/and batteries can give you. This is pretty much how I have also considered sizing the my system. I will nonetheless add that plan for expansions, That is, you may want to add more batteries in the near future. This is my plan, see how it goes the first year (validate the assumptions I made) and depending how it goes I will add more batteries or not. [/QUOTE]
