Hi. Thank you for that. I bought 4 of the following https://www.tayna.co.uk/Leisure-Battery-Powerline-110-CaravanLeisureMarine-Battery-P7714.html Doesn't give a c rating, and as they are the cheapest i assume you are correct. I think I'm starting to realise why caravans have gas ovens. The...

I need someone with battery or solar off grid experience to fault find on an off grid system in Leicestershire area. Any recommendations of people or help appreciated. Trouble is I cannot find a trade who are experienced in this. the system was fitted by a solar electrician but he did make it...

Building regs is for houses, this is for an off grid chalet - like a caravan. No approval or guidelines are enforced, although I wanted it to be safe. My electrician does a fantastic job of house installs for me, but had never fitted an off grid system. He said he would be happy to install...

Just to update, the install went very well. Thankyou. To give help to anyone searching info on off grid systems: The PIP4048 range of off grid inverters are nothing short of amazing. I thought for £500 on a 4000w inverter compared to victron at £1700 I was going to end up with some flaws...

I'm definitely not expecting to go with a DC oven. I've tried to use your equation based on a 48v dc input to the inverter. Worked out the dc current loading to be 34amps- so am I right in saying that gives me 10 hours halved? So 5?

That's great and really helpful, I'm trying to get my head around the fundamentals of all you've said. The batteries are leisure type deep discharge. Ideally I want to stick to 20-50% maximum discharge range. I guess if the drain is too high I can go for another 4 batteries. This would...

- The inverter requires a 48v DC input. - Haven't chosen one, but as an example: Energy rating A Energy consumption 0.79kwh Logik model LBFANX14 From that I don't know you can tell the peak consumption isn't higher than the inverter Maximum? Thanks

I have a chalet and have an electrician installing an off grid solar system. He's told me to design and supply everything I want and he's going to fit. He fits grid tie but hasn't done an off grid. I've got 2 x sharp 250w panels 1 x hybrid 4000w off grid inverter with charge controller...

I think they will reject a house on that plot. The architect I contacted said chances were slim but to ask the council what objections they may have. The house already there is running as an unlicensed HMO. If I could get an annex at the bottom with 1 car placement that would suit what people...

You missed the point. As I said in my first post, a builder suggested a house and I don't want the land it requires too much spending on it. I require a trade to tell me what is plausible. I don't want free help, although that is what this forum is for.

Are you just on here to argue pal? The £200 is what ide be willing to pay, it was you who called what I wanted doing 'bones'.

I would be willing to pay £100-200 for an hour assessment to give me the information I need. During the next recession you guys are toast if you shirk at that rate for zero labour thought sharing. I have skills to, and years of experience and I share them with my clients for money? I don't even...

Ok great thanks.

I have purchased a house on a corner plot a year ago. I want to keep space at the back for 2 cars parking and the rest of the land is unwanted. Its an eyesore, the wall has fallen and something needs to be done with it. A builder suggested he had seen similar sites accepted for a house since...
