[QUOTE="Chrisbee, post: 526886, member: 34814"] I'm very very pleased with a Solis RHI-3.6K-48ES-5G 3.6kW Hybrid inverter fed by 4.55kWp of panels and 4.8kWh of Pylontech US2000C batteries. Because mine was installed by a MSC installer I can get payment for any power that goes back to the grid. But the best rate I could find is 5.5p/kWh. So the name of the game is still to use everything that's generated. Having batteries means there's somewhere for excess power to go when the sun is out, and there's a source of power whenever a cloud comes across. We use around 20kWh a day. There's always some background draw even through the night. We find our batteries usually last well into the evening but are always empty by morning, when the daily cycle starts again. Oh, we're retired and home all day. Which makes a big difference to how much and when power is used. If we didn't have batteries then a diverter to send excess into an immersion heater would be very beneficial. We have one, but it only tends to kick in late in the day, on e the batteries are full. So it doesn't contribute much towards our hot water. [/QUOTE]
