OceanWanderer got a reaction from Denns in COJ, CP & Off Grid SystemsHi Denns
Thank you so much for all of this information and congratulations on achieving electricity independence.
My usage is slightly higher with a pool, geyser, appliances etc. (I have attached the generation stats for fun if you want to take a peek)
I started in 2022 with a small system (10 x 450w panels, 7kw battery & 8kw inverter) with the intention being to scale when the time came which I thought was now!
I posted the same question on a different forum and interestingly there was a very similar train of thought, invest in more energy generation via panels as opposed to a generator (a little bit from a lot makes enough). Funnily enough I noticed yesterday, that during the cloudy morning I was generating 10% of the potential, so if the maximum potential is 25kw at a 10% potential generation that is enough to charge batteries and run the office and fridge!
Not sure if I am limited by my inverter as my maximum potential PV input on my inverter (SunSynk) is 10kw or perhaps I am I misunderstanding that and I can have 25kw connected but maximum draw is 10kw?, Fortunately I do have available roof space, facing West - my current panels face true North.
Thank you once again for all of your input!
Cheers
David
