Had a look at a old farm house in deepest rural Devon. The customer has a 6kW diesel generator with battery back up, and is looking to add PV to save on fuel costs. So question is, can anyone offer any guidance to linking systems, potential problems, such as conflicting voltages interfereing with each other etc etc. I'm going to read up on tis anyway, but would appreciate any real-world experience.
One other question for those who are used to working with battery systems, how long do batteries last? The customer is complaining that they die every 2 years, which sound rather short lived?
