That looks incredibly useful! Thanks

Can I ask what your yearly usage is like for electricity with and without your car?

Unfortunately the WAF (Wife Approval Factor) turns to zero when discussing a heat pump in the garden which is the only realistic place it'll fit.

Thank you everyone for the advice and help. I've just put in the order for the 15 panel array and the Fox EVO 10kWh battery, and I'll be asking them to ensure that I can charge via solar if I would like to do so to make sure it's future proof and flexible to my wants and needs. For context, I...

I consider myself told 😊

🤣🤣🤣 There was me thinking that means per day not per hour.

Pretty sure my installer has suggested we'll be limited to 5kw export when it's done

Thank you everyone 🙏

Re reading it, I see where I've gone wrong! The oversizing helps the inverter start up earlier, run at max capacity for longer and therefore improve efficiency.

For example : "Why should we oversize solar inverters? Those who have been installing inverters for a long time know that they your can actually handle a lot more energy than you would think – around 133% or more. So to get more energy early on and throughout the day, your solar array should...

I got the idea from a different source, but this explains the idea. As I said, I'm probably misreading it. Inverter Oversizing

Thank you!! I'm so glad I started this thread because obviously I've either misunderstood or been mislead about the 133% figure with inverters (probably the former). I've looked around and the Fox EVO is my best option that will physically fit in the space I have available, discounting...

Thank you for your input Terry. My understanding is that my MG4 is not rated for v2h, so this isn't possible/ allowed? straight to mg4 from solar and battery is possible, drawing from the car, possibly not. It's an interesting point though so I'll question my potential installers! However...

yes probably! system 1 was quoted as a Alpha Smile ess 9.5kwh battery with a 3.86kw inverter, system 2 was quoted a Fox EVO 10.23kwh battery and a 5kw inverter I've been led to understand by watching videos & reading etc that inverters can operate at 133% of their rated value, so 5kw = max...
