[QUOTE="binky, post: 503014, member: 490"] Victron is good quality gear, not had anything to do with Huawei, Goodwe and Growatt are cheap ****e! Solis and Solax seem OK although I am yet to be completely convinced. SMA also do off gid inverters - expensive but again good gear with good technical help. DO NOT USE car batteries - tempting as they are cheap and large, but totally wrong battery type. Use leisure batteries. If you can afford lithium, that is the way forward - I've fitted both Pylon and BYD and both seem well made. You can also get lithium leisure batteries which are less restrictive as far as being tued to certain brands of inverter. To save money you can have multiple inputs to batteries, ie solar inverter/ charge controller, wind inverter/ charge controller etc etc all connected to same battery (but not for lithium units) This seems to offer a much cheaper package than all singing and dancing combined units.
