Yes, and there's a lot of experience here of doing it less-than-right. If I was doing it again I would have gone down a different route knowing what I know now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on Crossy and my experience of panels producing 1 unit/day/panel. And as the inverters will work up to 6 in parallel, should be able to upgrade if required. That was one for the email as well (If understand your post correctly). I want to be able (not mind paying of course) to have a system that is Brand In-depended easily up-gradable (so going from 10kW Battery to 15kW or from x Solar Panels to xx Panels) We don't care about the specifics (panels in series or ... or the inverters doing A and B) because I only have basic knowledge about it (but learn from you guys), I just expect the people who install my Solar Panels (and WE PAY BIG MONEY TO) that they know their sh...t and don't blow up our house in the process of installing it or electrocuting my wife or myself. (But maybe that is too much to ask) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritManToo Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 The panels and batteries are easy to mix and match. The inverters not so much. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muhendis Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Note on cables from a field location many metres from the house. Aluminium cables don't go walking off site in the middle of the night but copper ones do. The longer the copper wires, the more costly they are to replace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How to use a 4" cutter on steel box. 2. How to arc weld steel box. 3. How to crimp MC4 connectors (fold 2.5mm wire to 4x thickness). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
