[QUOTE="Andy1733, post: 526147, member: 34898"] Hi all. I'm in the process of fitting solar PV. As I mentioned on the other thread I'm fitting 15 X 255w panels South facing with no shading. Inverter is a 3.6kw Solis hybrid. I intended to add a 5-10kw (ish) battery backup in the next few month (funds depending) My supplier ATM is EDF and according to the EDF meter app I have a base line of energy use. This baseline usage from approx 11pm to 6am is I'm guessing when I'm asleep.. I've done a AVG over the past 2 month and it's 0.55kw per hour. I presume I have this same baseline usage through the day though it's more difficult to asses due to additional daytime usage.. I have a koi pond with air and water pumps plus fridge/freezers running 24/7 add to this my standby items so I guess this is where my min baseline usage comes from. My hope is the system I'm fitting will cover at least this base line figure. Am I being realistic? Will the system be enough? If not, What should I add to meet this min? [/QUOTE]
