Hi, I'm looking for design guidance and recommendations for best Inverter & storage options for a DIY install as part of a new house build. Im not looking for an MCS FIT approved system but just to get maximum benefit from solar PV at lowest cost and would like the capabilitty to run off battery power during the evening and ideally during a power cut. I have a qulaified electrician ready to connect up the system, but I'm a bit confused by all the options. So far I have purchased 24 x Canadian Solar 370W panels (Model: CS3L-370MS-MC4-F30), which is the maximum I can fit on the south facing roof arranged as a 3x8 array. Roof is being tileds now so need to finalise the design asap to allow panels to be installed. Mains supply is single phase and I have checked with my local network provider that they are OK with me connecting a 9Kw array to the grid. Budget is tight so need the option to add additional batteries at a later stage. Any suggestions on best combo of Hybrid Inverter and storage would be really helpful.

Hi Has anyone any experience of Voltacon inverters, in particular the Conversol Max4 7.2kW? I'm putting nearly 16kW of panels on the roof of my new build and need to source the inverter. It looks like 2 Conversol would exactly suit my needs, with the other option being three LuxPower LXP 5000s at a significantly higher cost or a Victron solution being recommended by my supplier at an even higher cost. So I'm looking to see if there is any experience with the Conversols? Thanks Derek M.
