Reviews on Hybrid tilting off-peak kit

[Wallyno]

Hello everyone.

I would like informed opinions on this kit.

I'm going to build a 210 m² mob of full feet. So very good insulation and lots of picture windows facing south.

Initially, I thought I would heat myself and produce hot water with a pellet boiler, but the price of the pellets seems uncertain in the long term.

With the principle of this kit, it is not worth the cost of staying on the electric floor heating type, and having such a kit with electricity production and recharging of batteries in off-peak hours. ???

Knowing that I am also considering a solar water heater.

Thank you for your comments.

Hello, the off-peak hours at my place are at night; for the ¨PV it is not at the moment that it will produce.

Knowing more about the type of construction is preferable because the energy you put into it depends on it.

In fact, it should be understood that off-peak hours are only there to recharge the batteries in the event of a lack of charge.

It is in addition to pv and wind.

Ok, I didn't understand that, I thought there was a problem ...

[davio]

direct without going through the batteries during off-peak hours ...? but requires an inverter on the installation.

[Wallyno]

What I understand is that when it is needed, the system takes advantage of off-peak hours to recharge the batteries if the solar and wind turbines have not been able to do so.
No way to be live according to me ..
Whatever .. I will reread in more detail.

After re-reading, I think that this installation only uses EDF to recharge the batteries in case of shortage.
And not to go live.

[davio]

And going through the batteries is less good than direct it seems to me.

It tires them unnecessarily and inevitably causes losses that would have to be calculated. (But here I am forgotten! Ok! )

On this same site, there is another hybrid kit tilting without the off-peak system.

It just switches to EDF automatically when the batteries run out of charge.

I doubt both. I thought the idea of ​​off-peak hours was well received.

this kit looks more like a commercial gadget catches galore, there is not much to gain by recharging during off-peak hours:
- loss of efficiency when charging and using batteries
- battery wear
- loss of efficiency if the wind picks up and you just recharge your nuclear batteries

Switching directly to the network in the event of low batteries seems more serious, as is the use of large consumer devices during off-peak hours.

In fact an installation on batteries is rather anachronistic when you have a network connection, it is better to enter into a resale contract with EDF and use the network as a "battery" especially with PV
