[QUOTE="label, post: 239451, member: 5940"] As someone that lives in the third world that is dependent on a computer to generate an income I can truly and honestly say solar is a load of dog poop covered in sprinkles. BUT sadly it is all we have so I learned to live with mine. Yes I do have a small system nothing big but it works. Truth is a home use about 5KW/h energy. The primary consumer of this power is the water-heater second only by the oven, microwave and toaster. Don't frown on the toaster that little beast can consume 1KWh every-time you make toast. So you want a 5.5KWh 48 volt Hybrid inverter. This inverter has build-in charger for the four 12 Volt batteries and you can connect your solar panels to it. Now Batteries you want Deep-cycle GEL batteries 12Volt 200 AMP each will give you a good amount of power to run a small office. It however WILL NOT run water-heater, stove, microwave and toaster. Essentially anything with a heating element will drain the batteries. It WILL drive a modest computer for a few hours. It will drive your lights TV and router for a while. The solar panels WILL charge in cloudy weather. The RULE here is if you don't feel the heat of the sun on your skin you probably will generate little to no power. But if you can feel the sun trough the clouds you will be fine. The Hybrid inverter CAN charge the batteries from solar power. The Hybrid inverter CAN charge from grid power when available. Charging batteries from a petrol/diesel/propane gas generator IS problematic because the frequency the power is generated at CAN and DO mess with the charger and can cause it to burn out. So rather not do this. Last thing thing NEVER go modified sine-wave it WILL mess with motors like your refrigerator. Speaking of refrigerator don't connect more then ONE unit at the time.

Your inverter will have a info sheet that will tell you how many solar panels you will need. I recommend staying within the recommendations as inverters are pedantic when it comes to its specifications. Because our power is 230Volt AC at 50Hz there is no point recommending the stuff I have because I know some countries run on 120Volt but I know European power is the same as ours so just do a search "pure sine wave hybrid inverter" [/QUOTE]
