I'm building a large shed/office/building approx 5.5m x3m it will have a small office area, drying room, and storage, i will be putting power in there, but ideally would like solar panels/batterys to run everything (with the power being back up) i will have approx 10no double sockets a few led lights, but also a few electric panel heaters, a dryer and fridge/freezer, does any one know what kit i would need ie how many/size solar panel, battery's how many and size, inverter etc, cheers
Ps, the shed will be built using 4x2 frame work with 75mm kingspan, then breathable membrane then 2x1 to cause void then shiplap cladding, so its a proper build
I looked at pretty much this a year or 2 ago and it's not really doable for a sensible amount of money. In the summer the numbers stack up just fine, but in winter when the productivity drops to the equivalent of 1 hour a day it becomes prohibitively expensive. Heaters you would have no chance.
Do a google search for 'solar calculator' or similar. As per the response above, LED lights - yes. Panel heaters, fridge freezers and dryers - massive consumption levels.
Yep, you need a proper installation to run all that.
Probably >£10k if you're looking batteries as well.
What you could do is a few panels and an inverter linked to a standalone heater or two, with all the generation going to the heaters and the panels not linked to the mains at all
