Well here goes. My system is approximately 18 months old. For 1 year I operated it as a stand alone system without exporting to the grid. Since July this year (2024) I have started to export my excess energy ~ 500 kWh per month.
Description of the system - 22 x 435 W solar panels (9.35 kW) - Fronius PV Inverter 8.2 kWh. Victron Quattro 48/5000/70-2x100 inverter charger with Cerbo GX control. 6 x 100 Ah pylontech Li-Fe-PO4 batteries (30 kWh)
Not really losing it. The inverter was specified with an output of 8.2 kW even though the panels will generate 9.35 kW under optimal conditions. The panel output will eventually deteriorate but at the moment I am happy with a max of 8.2 Kw. The floor is not genuine parquet, just a plastic print!
