Wouhaaa, a lot of posts today. Glad you clarified what you meant @Andy1733 Regarding your point 3 As far as I understand the various tariff, you will never be able to buy cheap at night (eg be on Eco 7) and then be able to sell in the day on agile tariff where the export tariff is higher than...

Hi @Andy1733 I am not sure I understand what you are trying to achieve. In Summer, the panels will, like in Winter, not generate enough electricity or not at all when it is raining and of course at night. Unless you consider that what you sell will compensate what you’ll have to buy, I cannot...

Hi Hello @bladerunnerpv thank you for your message I did have a look at their website bydbatterybox.com and saw they had different type of LV and HV batteries. However, regardless of the brand I am trying to learn how to calculate the charge/discharge when I have more than 1 LV batteries. In...

This is a great idea actually. You get two for the price of one.

Is that you John? :) Only joking. I know you were just getting started at that time. Are you preparing your own video?

You are perfectly correct. Any additional panels will need to be on a different inverter.

Thanks, you are right. I am in the same situation. Got mine in 2016 and now want more panels and batteries without losing the FiT. However, as I want be able to paid as I will have to export (my new system will give me about 2.5x what I currently generate, I thought I would need to have a smart...

I have followed a similar train of thoughts. You consider what your acceptable instant power (charge and discharge of the batteries) should be You consider what is your average consumption as well as the variance between summer and winter. If you want to size a system to cover all your winter...

I am lost. Are we talking for the PV system which have FiT, or new installation (after the FiT had gone)? It is my understanding that if you get a new PV system today without batteries then you MUST have a smart meter in order to be able to sell your electricity. If you have new PV system +...

This has been written on a different social media by somebody else. I thought it could help with your reflexion When solar generates it goes to the inverter as DC which converts it to AC and sends it to the house consumer unit to be used by the house. If the house doesn't use it then it's...

Hello The batteries will last you more than 10 years. Like the panels, there is degradation over time which can be limited by using the batteries within their optimal limits (depth of discharge, temperature)... Like for any batteries. So after 10 your batteries will still be working except...

Hi John I hope you realized what I wrote in italic was copied from Which website. Regarding the statement that if you have home batteries installed your export payments will be estimated at 50% You are saying it is true, yet you say you get paid for what you export. I don't get it.

Don't want to be too critical but it is far to be complete. What size solar storage battery do I need? The average home uses around 8kWh of electricity per day. The capacity of new lithium-ion batteries ranges from around 1kWh up to as much as 15kWh. Ideally, you want a battery that will...

12kW to run the house... Well, that's my problem I do not know for sure what the required max power for my house is at a particular given time. This winter we have hardly used our electrical underfloor heating (but this is a 3kW system!!!, so when it runs it runs and that for hours, so already...

Yep, however, I suspect this is an opportunity for companies to increase their tariff.

I was going to ask the same question. As far as I know, this is not correct but would love to be proven wrong!!

Hi Everytime I think I am getting closer to get the design signed off, someone from the company I selected put new info and I feel my head is going to explode. The initial quote was with Solax HV Batteries. The datasheet was easy to understand and there was a table showing what would be the...

you are correct, you either have a very good price to buying the electricity at certain time of the day (usually the night) but then you can only export at a buy tariff. Or if you want to export at a good tariff, this is the Agile and you can only buy at high price. I have not found the best...

Why don't you post photos or sketches in order for us to understand better?
