Hello everyone,
We are building a small house in Holland and going completely off grid. As we talk to other people that live off grid it becomes clear that the challenge is surviving the winter. We are currently looking at a victron inverter with 2 separate MPPT's (to be able to split the 6 solar panels in 2 groups) and two batteries with 4kwh storage. Since we will have a small house we won't be able to install more than 6 solar panels. We are aware we will have to adjust our life to what we will be able to collect and store. That makes it even more crucial to have a well working system that uses as little as possible energy to convert from DC to AC.
There will be no other input than the solar panels so we are looking for a inverter that will start inverting as soon as light hits the solar panels. I understand that there are inverters that take a certain input amount before being able to convert. I am hoping someone here can give me a better understanding of how much that is and which inverter has a low start up.
The concluding question is which viltron inverter would be recommended in our situation where we want it to start at low input and also has a general low consumption.
Looking forward to your input! Thanks.
