[QUOTE="Bob Smith, post: 537717, member: 35176"] Hi [USER=35878]@Spats[/USER] I have the same dilemma. Here is what I have been considering [LIST=1] [*]My 24hrs kWh import over a year. I buy around 5500kWh per year so per day roughly 15.5kWh. [*]I want to be able to add more batteries (this will depend on my first year usage and what my PV are doing, but also considering that in a near future I may have one and two EV cars at some points). [/LIST] I decided to start around 10 - 13kWh depending on the batteries. My existing 4kWp generates 15kWh/day as an average from April til September but I am getting the batteries with additional PV (21 in total facing West, SE and NW), so I should have no problem charging them fully during that period as cover my needs. I am considering, but will only take a decision once I have at least 12 months experience, to export either with Agile Tariff, or SEG but also Eco7 to charge them at a lower price. Depending how the figures stack up, I will add more batteries year 2 or 3 of the installation. My view is that I prefer going into a "too small" battery to start with than too big as it is easier to buy news ones than then selling your extra batteries. Hope this give you some food for thoughts. [/QUOTE]
