New system going in soon
Posted: Thu Jul 06, 2023 2:15 pm
Hi this is my first post on here.
I am having a new solar system installed in about 10 days time.
A 5,670 kW solar PV system including:
• 14 x 405 W black mono panels
• 14 x IQ7+ Enphase micro inverters
. Enphase Envoy
. AC Charger (a 5kW FOX unit but not sure of the model number)
A FOX ESS Hybrid Energy Cube battery storage system including:
• 3 x 4.1 KWh Energy Cube batteries
I have recently changed to Octopus energy so hopefully I can get the 15p per unit that goes into the grid. I am on their ‘economy7’ equivalent tariff so can charge up overnight into the batteries in the winter if required.
I will need a bit of time to work out the best way of doing things to use as much of my own energy as possible. We have an electric AGA cooker (which is often off during the summer but provides a nice background heat to the house in the winter) along with a plug-in hybrid car (about 15kWh battery and 50 mile electric summer range).
Any hints tips and or points to look out for during installation and use most appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation
Mike
