Re: Newbie Advice Sought

Stinsy said: 1) Leave your existing system alone so as not to disturb your FiT arrangement. 2) Fit an additional solar array, inverter/charger, battery system to take up the rest of your DNO allowance./quote] If I go this way with a LXP5K inverter and a 8kW PV extension, what battery size is advised...

Re: Newbie Advice Sought

Further reply to Paul_F Apologies Paul for my earlier reply which did not do justice to your post. My main interest is to get to net-zero but of course I want efficiency and low running costs. The car is a VW e-UP - similar to I-Miev I think. It charges at about 3.5 kW/h and does about 6k miles/annu...

I don't have a breakdown but there are some explanations: EV is charged at the house A granny flat within the 260 Sq.m building envelope, which is rented [/list]Family sleeps with open wi...
