[QUOTE="carptench, post: 525460, member: 34841"] Hi All Looking to install a 12kw solar array but not sure whether its too much or not enough. We use around 10k kwh annually and obviously a higher percentage of this would be used between October to March. Looking at our historic meter readings we use around 60% of the 10k in the winter months. I realise that it would be very difficult and expensive not to use any grid power but want to try and get it right to start with to maximise energy throughout the year. We will be installing energy dumps to the heating system and are considering batteries. The batteries I'm struggling with without having a good idea of winter production from the panels. So I suppose my question is what would a 12kw solar array produce during the winter months (October to March). What panels would out perform others during winter use? Thanks M [/QUOTE]
