[QUOTE="Julian Divett, post: 543520, member: 36537"] Hi, I self installed 2 arrays in my home in the south of France. A total of 5.3kw with a SMA 5 tripower inverter (3 phase). My house is all electric with Aircon and Swimming pool in the summer and a heat pump for the underfloor heating in the winter. I have a separate solar system for hot water. I also run an electric car. I do not have a resell contract for feed in, the rates are super low and you have to jump through major planning hoops with a local mayor who has shown zero interest in solar. I try as far as possible to maximize energy usage during the sunny hours but I'm definitely throwing away several kw of energy each day. Annoyingly the inverter does not have a storage function so I'm looking at a separate inverter and battery solution. At the moment this doesn't seem to add up financially. We pay around 12p kWh off peak and 18p peak. In the future i will get a second electric car and I would be tempted by v2h. [/QUOTE]
