    That is just lovely. EcoFlow may be a bit pricey compared to building your own but you get no compatibility issues. Everything's very easy to install and it's pretty scalable as well. For added power you can get the Smart Generator so you can run that aircon all the live long day if you want. All in all this is a great build. Two thumbs up!

    If you orient your panel to true north you will get most power. A bit North East for morning sun/charge or North West for afternoon sun/charge. Believe it or not, the best angle for solar panels is different depending on where you live. Naturally, you always want your panels on the side of the roof that gets the most daytime sun. However, the actual angle you should aim for changes from state to state. This is because the ideal angle is always equal to the latitude angle of your home’s location. As a rough guide, the optimal angles for solar panels are listed below for Australia’s capital cities. Sydney - 33.9 degrees Melbourne - 37.8 degrees Perth - 31.9 degrees Brisbane - 27.5 degrees Hobart - 42.9 degrees Adelaide - 34.9 degrees Darwin - 12.5 degreesk
