Now that you lot have very kindly helped me with my cabling issues on a different thread, my mind has turned to high level design.
My main priority is return on investment. (i'd like to live to see the benefit - i'll be 54 tomorrow, good teeth but addicted to biscuits)
I’m not a spark but want to install as much of the system myself.
Ideally it would be a flexible system where I have the ability to add more (should I win the lottery).
The budget is tight.
I do have a mate who is an MCS installer but he's not a good mate - IE. I could possibly get him to do final commision and sign it off but I can't take too many liberties.
Question - i was looking at 5kw of panels (on a diy groundmount (using MCS bars)) and a 5kw hybrid inverter and a 5kw battery. I'm now wondering whether 3.6kw inverter actually makes better sense. Any thoughts welcome.
