Is there any point in exporting to the grid? Especially if doing so limits your options while they pay almost nothing for your power. I'm awaiting installation of a PV/Battery system. First call on the PV power is the house, then hot water and then battery
Once I've had a chance to see how things are panning out I intend installing some electric heating, either underfloor or wall mounted. And for the future, and electric car.
Ainars idea of buying cheep off peek power to top up the battery for use during the day is also a great way to go.
This is what we're awaiting installation of:
12 x JA Solar 395W solar panels (4.74KW solar array )
1 x GIV 5.0KW hybrid inverter
1 x GIV 9.5KW battery storage unit
1 x Iboost hot water controller
2 x Tigo power optimisers for the extra panels.
