Solar panels 2025 ready to install but lots of Questions!

[kwak250]

We will have our house finished in August and looking at fitting solar panels
Last time we looked we thought we would need many more panels but now new panels are 700w

 

We also hoped we could run the meter backwards in the day but now have a nasty digital meter
I remember Crosy ? saying to look at the units you use between 9am-4.30pm to see how many units you use and how many panels would be needed

Probably best to live in the house for 2-3 months to get a good idea
Would like to get the panels up straight away really while the car port is being built (12x 6 m)

We have a 1,5hp pool pump which i am told you should run 4 hours morning and afternoon 
Would it be a good idea to install a system that would give say 60 units a day so would need panels and  battery as that is near to what we would use

Also told the installation cost can double the price of the DIY install
Is it a good idea going through Homepro/Global?
Many thanks for your time

Last time I checked they were still quoting about ฿10 per Watt and I have never seen them stock bigger panels. You will have to go online for more competitive prices.

 

I recently paid for Trina 705 Watt panels ฿2,780 each or ฿3.9 per watt

That seems a good price
Would love to try to diy this but going to see what local fitters will charge

Looking at the XL homepro package with a 10kw battery i am looking at around 800k?

Must be cheaper options
