and no curling irons, no hair dryers, no soldering kits, no space heaters, no heating blankets, no electric griddles.....basically nothing with a high amp starting load.
Electric resistive heating -> NO!
“basically nothing with a high amp starting load.”
This is not true for 99% of solar installations.
System Types:
1. Grid tied. make no difference
2. Off grid with battery storage. Makes no difference unless you have ridiculously undersized your inverter.
3. Off grid with no energy storage. This is a rare cat indeed. I don’t remember every reading about a whole house off-grid system which did not use storage. But if they did then you are mostly right. the system would have to be sized to maximum draw. If it isn’t sunny at the moment, then no power. But as I said nobody does those systems.
