Vanessa, Bruce and their two children live in a converted cowshed. They thought they could access the mains power grid easily as they weren't that far from a road. They soon found out the costs to connect were way over their budget. So instead 80 solar panels were installed on plastic Renusol PV mounts and along with a Victron Quattro and BYD batteries, they generate their own power from the sun.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 01:43 💡 Building a new home in a remote area without access to the grid can be extremely costly, with initial quotes ranging from £60,000 to £160,000 for connecting to the grid. 03:42 ☀️ Off-grid systems, which include solar panels, advanced battery storage like lithium-iron phosphate, and inverters, can efficiently power a large home and minimize reliance on a generator. 07:50 🔋 Lithium-ion phosphate batteries offer high cycle life and faster charge and discharge rates compared to lead-acid batteries, making them an ideal choice for renewable energy systems. 09:21 🌧️ An LPG generator can serve as a backup for periods of high energy demand when solar generation is insufficient. 13:54 📊 Continuous monitoring of the off-grid system's performance allows homeowners to optimize energy usage and understand their self-sufficiency, reducing the need for grid connection.

This is great, just about to start a selfbuild project and planning to go off grid. Looking for contacts to obtain quotes.

Thank you for including the cost of their system, such an important figure is far too often omitted

Your story is exactly like ours. They wanted $60,000 dollars to connect us plus we had to clear a path 30 feet wide through our timber. Going off grid was only $28,000.

Enhorabuena, conozco el duro ,intenso,estresante,y gratificante camino de la autoconstruccion ,pero si todo acaba bien al final vale la pena

Victron is energy.....Information is power.

Victron is the Ferari in the Solar world,that is my experience from the days where Victron started also in Off-Shore. Myself i build a Solar Island System and Vcitron is nearby when i need hardware for customers.

love it!

Fabulous, but I think a small wind turbine would have made a valuable addition in winter.

@VictronEnergyBV 8 ай бұрын

I do believe that is on their list of ‘to buy’ items.

@kristiansnelling9576 Ай бұрын

It would have to reside pretty much in the middle of the field and not be so small. Wind turbines are great... but turbulent wind causes them nightmares

How can I get more information about the build itself. I want to do a barn conversion and any insights would be appreciated.

If you take a look in the description, there is a link to the installer. They will be happy to help.

13.8kwh per battery or is that the total?

@neill3074 4 ай бұрын

Per battery, 14:55 shows there is 3 batteries.

Hi I have built an offgrid property in the UK, I would like to know more about the generator. From my understanding the generator needs to be 1.5 times the max total of inverters. Unfortunately for me I have a total of 3 x 8kw inverters so I need a 36kw generator which I wanted in lpg as i have a bulk tank. Is it possible to have a chat and potentially getting you to look at my system to make improvements if possible.

But I thought the inverter charger will get very hot if its not synchronised with a fronius for direct solar consumption. If the battery is full can the victron run off the solar power direct from the sunlight without touching the battery?

@bramcoteelectrical1088 5 ай бұрын

Yes dc coupling and if your loads match the solar irradiance

@donlatinohits 5 ай бұрын

@@bramcoteelectrical1088 when you say match the irradiance, which means also if the loads are below the the sun production the mppt will somehow divert to the inverter as the battery is already full?

@bramcoteelectrical1088 5 ай бұрын

@@donlatinohits kind of... if the loads are below the sun production the DC and ac will throttle back as long as you have set up the micro grid settings correctly on the fronious I didn't knew this when I first started out. The DC mmpt victron will also throttle back if battery is full. When battery is full and no or little loads = power come batteries When batteries are low state of charge and high amount of sun and have loads = irradiance (sunlight) will go to Dc victron to charge batteries (very efficient) and provide power to mains inverter (less efficient) and the AC coupled froniuos will make mains power to directly service your loads (best efficiency dc to ac and used straight away to power loads) Hope this helps
