[QUOTE="Timj_1, post: 526830, member: 35024"] Hi - I am looking to create a PV system for my domestic property 3 bed semi. On checking with my smart meter it looks like I use around 12Kw a day with a peak of around 5Kwh in terms of load. I have a shade free roof facing due South and room for battery storage. My peak demand is early morning and early evening with little during sunshine hours so I am guessing storage is going to be key. Quick initial research yields Grid tie inverter to use PV/battery and take power from the grid when I need to top up ie battery is low or no sun? Also manage battery charging from PV when no load? Am I right with this - basically want to use as little mains as I can using PV and battery for close to all power but with grid for backup? If this is correct could someone kind and knowledgeable point be to the best inverters, batteries and PV units. Re batteries I have seen 7000 deep cycle bats for around £300 a KWH - might be optimistic on that! On inverters looked at Sunny Boy storage 5K Many thanks in advance Kindest Tim [/QUOTE]
