batteries usually charged by around 0830 in summer and around 945 in winter. i set the inverter to a SOC of 60% as we often have loadshedding in the early morning so we can get day started and keep alarms etc running. challenges come in late afternoon when either use eskom or batteries when household is getting ready for dinner (air fryer etc.)

hi all my existing setup is made up of a 8kva sunsynk inverter, 8.2kw bsl battery and 10 550w JA solar solar panels. system runs pretty much runs the full house. we recently moved house and we moved our system with us. the orientation and shape of our new house means we basically stop generating solar power around 1630 in afternoon (summer). question is, is it better/ more cost effective to add more panels to roof we have space for another 6 panels) to give me more afternoon generation (especially in winter) or just get another battery? or do i bite bullet and do both? cheers jean
