whole house SYSTEMS

If you’re intending to run your entire home off grid then the first step is to see where you can eliminate electricity use. So cooking on wood, or gas; heating water with a pellet / log boiler, range cooker, and/or solar thermal, with excess solar energy in summer being used to power an immersion heater.

You’re likely to have a fridge, freezer, washing machine, toaster and maybe an electric kettle and microwave in summer. Induction hobs are also good for sunny weather. From November – March though, we need to minimise power use unless we want to rely on backup from a generator, wind power or hydro.

We find that people frequently underestimate how much power they will need, and overestimate how much good weather they will have, so the key when designing a system is to be realistic. 

With a bigger system – and especially with LiFePo batteries, a Cerbo GX or Color Control GX unit is essential to manage everything properly. It enables the system to be properly configured, to control other devices – such as a generator on/off, and allows you to view and manage an internet connected unit from anywhere in the world.

 

wHAT IS INCLUDED?

If you choose a pre-build option, all the main parts of your kit can be configured and assembled onto a board, ready to be connected to batteries and solar. Typically all your solar panels and mounts will arrive in one delivery, and your board and batteries in another. 
We are NOT solar installers. Many customers opt to build ground mounts to attach their rails and panels to, kits are priced with roof brackets in but we can swap those for the brackets needed to bolt to a ground mount. 
Warranties on Victron equipment are typically 5 years, with an option to extend to 10 (enquire for pricing). Dyness batteries are warranted for 10 years, solar panel modules have warranted output for between 15-20 years.

All home kit prices include delivery anywhere on mainland Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland.
