[QUOTE="Ollie78, post: 553255, member: 37794"] This is quite similar to some of the quotes we have had. To my mind the point is to use the grid as little as possible. A few of the systems we have had quoted were a 5kw hybrid inverter but this rating is the input from solar and the output from battery was 3kw which as you say is not enough to run the oven etc. In our case we can only likely get a maximum of 12 panels on our roof, 4 on each side we are a semi detached with a hipped roof. We have south, east and west facing sides. So there will be little room for expansion, though we do have a lean to garage facing south it is at quite a low pitch and the roof is a bit ropey. I quite like the look of the givenergy all in one and gateway which has 6kw output and is octopus intelligent compatible but it is probably out of our budget, at least according to one quote we had. One company quoted an Alpha ess smile5 which has 11kwh storage and 5kw output but someone else said they cannot be force discharged making it less compatible with octopus tariffs. I have yet to get to the bottom of this. Ollie [/QUOTE]
