Hello. My father currently has a sunnyboy sb 2500 solar inverter teamed with 10x 215watt HV PV panels.
we get paid for the energy we produce whether we use it or not so a battery system seemed like a viable option for when we overproduce to store it up and use it when the panels aren't producing anymore.
he recently was "sold" a battery pack system.....but when the electrician came to fit it he advised us not to bother (as the 5kwh of batteries would never get filled etc)......so we haven't and no money has been spent (it was going to cost an extortionate 4500 pounds :S).
as well as advising us on not to go through with the installation, he said we'd be best off getting a newer inverter to replace the old one and not bothering with the battery system.
after this debacle......my father has once again turned to me to see what i can do instead, and hopefully for a lot cheaper.
can someone point me to a better inverter, or inverter/battery system.
thanks in advance
