Denis ordered our system and batteries off eBay and our solar panels are second hand.

Hope Dennis is a sparky…

[@davewarner3387]

can you give a cost on batteries

[@brucemullis479]

Those panels will also shade the metal roof from the baking sun.

Excellent set up, love the quantity of solar panels, definitely needed for the house build. Money well spent.

When the Sun rises, Should off grid 48V inverter start without grid connection and battery fully dead,
Pl advise

[@evil17]

Yes it should

[@simplyintranets]

Nice work Dennis!

[@Coralita675]

Big sheds love solar and lots of BIG water tanks, I'm sure you both have plans for expansion as we all can't live with out either. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to more episodes.

Cost ?

👍

Are the batteries a fire risk maybe kept outside is better ?

[@evil17]

I like the idea of a solar shed or locker off to the side of a building for added safeguards, but these batteries are a Lifepo4 chemistry in a server rack style & they are a reasonably safe technology & unlikely to catch fire like some other lithium battery types. All electrical work including batteries and inverters have a potential for fire risks, if done correctly, the electrical codes should help mitigate these risks.
