Hi all,
Location: Belgium
Grid connection: 3-phase
Current system:
- system installed beginning of March 2024 (so missing Jan/Feb, but those do not have the biggest impact)
- SolarEdge SE8K-BE0TEBEN4 inverter with MPPT (3 orientations - not entirely happy with the performance but that’s another topic)
- 18 x Jinko 435 Wp panels for a total of 7.83 kWp
Energy figures 2025:
- Total PV Production: 3620 kWh
- Total Grid Consumption: 2430 kWh
- Total PV injection in grid: 2310 kWh
- PV self-consumption = 36%
- Living area’s are heating with floor heating on gas, but sleeping rooms have A/C units for heating/cooling
Looking to increase our self-consumption by installing a ESS - and I saw an interesting combination, consisting of a Seplos 16.5 kWh battery, a Victron Multiplus II 48/5000/70-35 inverter and a Victron Cerbo GX.
Some questions from my end:
- Are these components suitable for my situation to be installed?
- Next to wiring and fuses, am I missing crucial components
- Does it even make sense to install a home battery in my situation?
Many thanks for your advice!
