Hi @jjclara

They are indeed very different.

You are using approx 35kWh per day on average. Quote one is about 15kW and quote 2 is 10kW of solar. Assuming you’re in a reasonably sunny part of North America, that will equate to about 60kWh a day for quote 1, and 40kWh a day for quote 2. Both above your needs, quote 1 significantly so.

In most parts of the US I believe you are able to get a “net feed in tariff”, which means you receive the same amount of money for the solar you export, as for the solar you import. In which case I don’t really see the benefit of getting a battery. Do you know if you are able to get a net feed in tariff, or what the deal is in your state?

I would be inclined to get a 10kW system without a battery. In fact, if you can fit 28 panels on your south roof, I think that would suffice. 28 x QCells 315W with Enphase inverters would be my choice.

Hope that helps.

Optimisers work well when some of the panels are shaded, but in order to continue functioning, they always ne…
