Firstly I'd like to say a quick hello as im a new user to this forum.
I am looking to install a small PV system to my house. I did my training course quite a while ago and never installed before.
I've got the obvious bits available and determined a good south facing location in an area with no shading. Initially I would like to install only a supplementry system which will feed into my home only. Perhaps the possibility of storing energy into a battery bank too. I am looking to keep costs low as possible.
I have been offered 3 x LG 235w panels 60cell which I believe are 24-26 volts Nominal for £450 for 3. ( is it worth it - new ) Would I be correcting in setting up these panels in a series string to maintain a higher voltage and keeping the current down to save on cable size . Approx 8 Meters run. Also looking at the correct inverter. I have seen many chinese versions available on ebay but I am not too keen. Has anyone used a mastervolt 600 and would this gried tied inverter be suitable for a system that at peak will run 705watts at peak. I know I will be never reaching this efficency theoretically after my losses. Will it be ok to use this system or should i choose a bigger inverter.
I hope you guys can Help . Cheers Kevin......
