Is there an off grid thread on here already that I’ve missed? We’re building our dream off grid home on an outer Orkney island this year and looking for input on fully speccing the system. Been two years getting through planning and building control and groundworks should be started by the end of the month.
Going to be timber frame with detached workshop, powered by around 4kw of solar and a 6kw wind turbine (mean wind speed at site 7.2m/s). We’re installing a 6kw air to water air source heat pump for our wet underfloor heating system and also our domestic hot water. We are putting in a 20kW battery storage system with a 15kva microgrid and inverter to keep us going in times of low production and are putting in an indirect water tank with integrated thermal store. Think the main issue we’re coming across is different installers for each aspect and working out how to fully integrate them with each other.. any help would be greatly appreciated on this!!
Here’s our house plans and our field! (The one with the shipping container on the left in the aerial shot)
