Okay so I want to install a grid tie system on my shed.

I have a sub-main supply to the shed via a 10mm swa cable straight from the meter box, to the CU with 2 spare for RCDs.

Looking at a 2kw-3kw string inverter and space for maybe 4 panels on the roof. Roof size is 4m x 2.8m.

Only going by what I've researched and just looking for advice really on what would work the best. The shed is south facing with a mono pitched roof, 5-10 Deg towards south.

I have a mate who is a sparky so won't be doing any electrics myself.

Any advice would be appreciated 👍

Have a play around with easypv it is free to use in basic mode (just have to create an account) which will give you a lot of info.

Fairly easy to use you can model the building and place panels and play around.

There is also another free online tool can't remember the name of it right now since easypv was good enough for my needs.
