Being in the Netherlands makes this very challenging indeed. I am from the Netherlands but don't live there anymore. I came to visit family in December a couple of years ago instead of the usual summer trip and I had forgotten how incredibly gloomy it gets. Short days, dark, low hanging clouds much of the time. Not much solar energy on those days.
- jacquesm 4y agoIndeed, December here we made all of 85 KWh, whereas the peak day in April so far produced 68 KWh and I fully expect summer days to be much better than that still. So that's a ratio of 1:30 between winter and summer! The worst day in April so far was 13 KWh, the worst day in December was 0.3 KWh. So no matter what you do, you'll end up using power from the grid. And no realistic battery system is going to give you three months worth of storage. At best you'll have two days worth, maybe three.
