Hi All,
I'm currently looking into the viability of the following;
Installing a battery pack that will allow me to disconnect from the grid, and will supply my entire home at 240V (peak load 4kW), but only for a 1-2 hours max each day.
1. Is it an easy calc to work out the required battery size?
2. Can you fully discharge batteries these days without harming their life?
3. Ballpark cost of a system like this?
My understanding is that it is effectively a online UPS setup, but i need to run for longer than a traditional UPS - correct?
This is not my expertise, and i am researching the pitfalls of such a system, witch I assume are there as this doesn't appear to be a common setup.
Thanks in advance
