I got my "hybrid" inverter today. My panel size is 330w x 16. So 5.2kWh. Grid tied system. 1 year. Average production 28 kWh on a good day with no grid power cuts.

Well the new hybrid inverter from phocus is supposed to use the generation when grid outside is down internally at home and that opens up a lot of possibilities.

Been thinking about using solar water heating to reduce electricity consumption but that is a big project.

Batteries are still expensive in india. Lithium ion is prohibitively expensive than lead acid. Agreed it pays in time of life but still.

Edit: anyone know if I can incorporate phocus inverter into home assistant ? It has ble so some sort ?

I wonder if anyone has invented a "storage heat pump" for air conditioning purposes.
