[QUOTE="daveywb, post: 546251, member: 36994"] This might sound a bit mad, but bear with me... I currently have a shed under some trees but some space on a flat roof that could accommodate some panels. I want to generate a bit of energy to give it some background heat and power some other small items. It seems crazy to be spending money to heat it on a sunny day (it's cold due to the shading.) So my idea is to have a small off-grid system. But also thinking of the possibility of expanding it and making it on-grid in the future. After looking at some off-grid kits, it seems much more efficient to design your own... Would something like this work? I'm prepared to be told that this combination of items is ridiculous...! 2 x 400w solar panels [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.cityplumbing.co.uk/p/longi-solar-400wp-full-black-pv-module-lr5-54hib-400m/p/634021[/URL] 1 x 800w charger/inverter [URL unfurl="true"]https://uk.eco-worthy.com/products/all-in-one-inverter-built-in-800w-12v-pure-sine-wave-power-inverter-50a-controller-for-off-grid-system?currency=GBP&variant=41219755081877[/URL] 1 x 100Ah lithium battery [URL unfurl="true"]https://uk.eco-worthy.com/products/lifepo4-12v-100ah-lithium-iron-phosphate-battery[/URL] Any advice would be appreciated!
