DIY Solar System vs Commercial Offer

https://youtube.com/c/WillProwse This is a nice YouTube channel of a guy testing panels, converters, and batteries. He has a lot of handy installation tips. And the high consumption/low production tariffs are mostly caused by energy taxes from the government. I agree that energy prices will rise, so a battery will make sense quickly. For me it is a hobby and a hobby does not have to be cost-effective. :-)

Hi Erwin, I know the channel. It is quite interesting. Concerning cost: As I said, I am also not interested in cost. But I am confident that I will get the money back soon (if I watch the recent spot price for electricity). And after the fuel price increase, my friends order e-cars like hell...

Hello, since some time I'm looking as well to cover our roof with Solar Panels. I'm in the starting block and your video helped a lot to make decisions. I try to go the DIY way. I'm also looking at air/ water heat pumps with a water buffer tank (2000l) to act like a battery .

Hi Beat, we have distance heating using wood. So I had no need to look into this topic. But if you build a large system, it can be attractive to use water as an additional "battery"
