SolarEdge phone app for wifi connection
EV – electric vehicle
EV charger


Selection Process
Used ‘SolarQuotes’ to get proposals from 3
companies. One company quoted based on GPS view of roof. Another came for a brief visit.
Solar Pro came to the house for a detailed
inspection, and I also visited their show room in Frenchs Forest.
Reason for Selection
Whilst we have a north facing roof, it is partly
shaded at certain times of the day, particularly
in winter. It was therefore important for the
panels that were not shaded to keep generating electricity for as long as possible.
Solar Pro were very good in talking through the pros and cons of different systems, which led to the final selection.


Outcome
The panels generate around 110% of electricity
consumed during summer and 33% during winter.
Overall my electricity / fuel costs reduced by
75% after installing panels. Expect a return on
the initial outlay over around 4 years.
What I would do differently
The panels generate 7.56 kW (in best sun) and
the inverter can generate 6.0 kW.
As I bought an electric car soon after installing
panels, I could use more power. I would have
added extra panels with a bigger inverter to
achieve around 9.0 kW.
