Sorry our internet was down for some time now (offshore), but yes it makes all sense if you take the costs of only getting a few more watts out the PV's. I think I will stick with 220Vac for my lights. Thanks

Thanks for all the feed back... I really appreciate it and will modify my setup until it all is good on paper before installation (practical never work out as in theory....) I asked a lot of friends and had a long thought about the 12v lights but I think the best way out is with 220v - LED lights and gas water heaters/stoves. Unfortunately the ridge of the roof is north/south and I do have a slight problem with mounting the panels...but I was thinking to mount it on a bracket and have it track the sun as it will optimize the output of the PV's.... any ideas? Thanks

Good day to all, I am newbie with solar and is building a new house and will be going as green as I can... I would like to know if this solar setup would be correct? The daily consumption will be around 3800Wh. I want to use a Axpert 5000VA/4000W Inverter Charger, 8 x 260W / poly solar panel (all connected in parallel) and 8 x 12V/260Ah batteries (connected 2 x parallel strings with 4 x batteries in series) .See drawing and data info as attachments. I am not sure... what will my output be from the inverter using this battery bank, I do realize that there is a lot a factor influencing the hole setup but would it be able to supply the daily consumption (3800Wh)?
