I'm posting this because I do not have any knowledge in the solar field really and I know many here will be able to help a noob out.
I have a tiny investment house of 60m2 that I just started renting out to a young couple after completely renovating it including decent new ceiling insulation....and importantly it has an old style reversible electrical meter...
The electrical items in the house are basically:
a new geyser (probably pretty standard size)
21x 5.5w LED globes,
5 plate electric HOB
electric oven
fridge, washing machine, microwave, probably toaster, tv and maybe a couple of hairdryer, bedside lamp etc
and lastly electric lawnmower twice a month.
I don't have consumption figures but In a month or so I can get the kWh consumption.
What I would like to achieve is to take the pain out of the electrical consumption with a small solar system that turns the meter backwards but never far enough to make the units count down on a monthly basis.
The roof is asbestos big six profile facing NNW and it is pitched at 23 degrees.
What is the most viable system configuration to install that will pay itself off the fastest while producing 100% or less of the monthly consumption?
Ideally a system that can automatically adjust so as not overproduce and thus turn the meter backwards on a monthly average basis would be most ideal.
Thanks in advance for any of your valuable inputs.
