[QUOTE="Bob Smith, post: 528894, member: 35176"] Thank you to both of you. The maximum power to be exported... That's is interesting. Is that based on the theoretical max power? The reason of my asking is that as mentioned the plan is: Existing system: 4kWp all panels facing south + Iboost that heat the water when there is an excess of electricity Additional system (not yet installed): 3 Panels facing south, 2 facing South west, 4 on a wall facing west. Some of panels 4.7kW. with a inverter for those 9 panels. There will also be 10kWh battery (expected to expand later to 15) that will be charged by my existing panels + the new one. As you can see, The panels will never, ever provide all at the same time their maximum power. However, the real max power could be difficult to calculate though. On the other hand, I am not interested in exported if this creates more hassle. I am willing to lose my export tariff (from my existing system). Could the solution be a system that charge the batteries and when they are full, instead of exporting the electricity, sometime shut it off. So in essence, my panels are only use for my own use and produce electricity fed back to the grid? Thanks [/QUOTE]
