[QUOTE="mygoggie, post: 1115062, member: 18916"] Between everything else, I have been reading up on the PV vs battery bank capacity arguments. It seems the argument comes down to two basic points, namely: [LIST] [*]The first being to you want to go off-grid which will steer you in the direction of a larger battery bank. [*]The second being do you want to reduce your grid dependency which will steer you in the direction of a larger PV array. [/LIST] Yes, there are also the myriad other points to consider such as do you run a home office or do you simply sleep in your house at night and over weekends? In my case I need to add in the demands of my garage workshop. Interesting ingredient to the mix, this one! Considering all I made a decision to design the system to allow me to go off-grid but to reach this in modular phases. Dictated obviously by how much free time I have! 😊 My first point of departure will to determine the available unshaded roof space that can be utilised for the PV arrays. It was overclouded for most of the past week, so I could not set out the unshaded areas. Hopefully today's sunshine will allow me to start marking out the areas where you can catch a tan! :coffee: [/QUOTE]
