Just doing some more digging...
found this site on the forum http://pvwatts.nrel.gov/pvwatts.php - a 1.5kw solar system such as the one i have acquired supports a maximum of 7.8kWh max in summer and a 3.9kWh minimum in winter at my address. I have 175watts of usage i want to power off grid which adds up to 4.2kWh per day.
So really i am on the money with the solar setup i have for the power i want to support, i just need storage that can support the same. Where can i look for a solution for this and what coin am i looking at spending to provide such a solution? at 26c a unit in Australia the cost comes to roughly $700 in savings per year. Will the batteries for this cost more than $700. If it can pay itself off in one year that would be ideal.
