  • Post in thread: Off-grid system sizing - Are these numbers correct?

    Thank you guys, this was very helpful! I found a big solar shop in Austria, Victron dealers, talked to them and they seemed decent at first. I'll be probably buying everything from them, so they're willing to work the numbers for me(based on the info from this thread) to come up with a setup...

    Hey @Steve_S , thanks! Luckily, I am in southeast Europe, 10 days without any Sun doesn't happen here. Ya, I've figured that out. I'll oversize everything, to leave room for the potential future upgrades. Regarding 3000VA vs 5000VA; Is it possible to just go with 5000, without having a...

    CONSUMPTION I checked my consumption in the apartment where I'm staying and for the last six-ish months it wasn't over 80kwh/month, which comes to 2,66kwh/day. So just in case I've bumped that to 5kwh/day. Besides things I have now, that are using electricity, when I move off-grid I'll add to...

    @Pi Curio, @Steve_S, here's the reply I got from that solar shop. While I get the more the marrier approach to this topic, I'm not sure is he just trying to upsell( 5kw of panels and an expensive MPPT charger, 450/100), or if bumping it up that much is really the best thing to do. What do you...
