[QUOTE="Accidental_Farmer, post: 5676502, member: 42526"] Hi, its 14KWh. Overnight, whilst everything in the house is off apart from the essentials, we use about 20% of the battery storage. We do have some undefloor electric heating though, in a big room....if we have that on when we aren't generating as well, then we get 3 or 4 hours of of the battery. During the summer though from about march to September we heat all our water with an immersion heater and have the underfloor heating off. Most days (in the summer) the batteries are fully charged again by about 10AM and then we use energy direct from the solar inverter and still pump nearly 50% back into the grid. We have 56 solar panels which I think are 260watt each. Yes, they are Victron. We have 3 as we have a 3 phase supply, so 1 per phase. They are wired so all three can charge the batteries. The house is then on one phase, and the farm building are on another. We also have some 3 phase motors on various machinery. The Batteries are lead acid. We decided to go with a proven manufacturer, not just one that has popped up recently. This company have made batteries for the marine industry for years. They are made by PylonTech No problem, I'll just check with them that they don't mind me passing on details. [/QUOTE]
