[QUOTE="Ucatchmydrift, post: 541239, member: 35106"] Hi, sorry, bit late, didnt realise you had posted this.. My setup is unique as i did the lot myself (diy), which is very unusual. Atm its producing about 3/4 of my daily usage, and the rest i pull from the grid at cheap rate and store in my battery banks to use in the day, so never have to use peak rate leccy.. Its been alot of work, but also a great project and am still enjoying tweaking it, for example, i am now using a raspberry pi and home assistant to pull all the inverter data/bms/shut into one place to view over wifi etc. I was also looking at all the expensive inverter/pylontech battery stuff once, but it just seemed far too expensive for what it is etc and thought i could do better and learn more if i did it all myself (for example just over £4k for my entire setup 3kw panels 3kw inverter 14.4kw batteries - but i do live on my own in a bungalow!). See below for my build thread over at diysolarforum.com (ive not updated the thread for a while, and there is more added now!)
