Photovoltaic system: How many kWp are enough for a house?

We are currently also dealing with the Outlander PHEV. What I find interesting about the PHEV is that around 45 km can be driven purely electrically. That's enough for many things in the area, and for longer distances you have a petrol engine on board.

Well, since I do have to tow a 750 kg trailer a few times a year because of my own garden and also my side business, it won't work without it. In total, we drive only about 12,000 km per year and I don't need to go faster than 120 km/h. So actually the Ioniq would be really perfect if the trailer hitch had a towing capacity and wasn't just for bicycles.

Anyway....

So, I have now read my meters. On 20.03.2020 the meters were installed. Since then I have the following on them: Grid consumption: 303 kWh Generated: 5013 kWh Fed in: 4408 kWh

This results in us having consumed 605 kWh of the generated electricity ourselves and having used 908 kWh in total since 20.3.2020. This results in a self-sufficiency rate of 67%. And that without a battery. I find that quite decent. By the way, there are 4 adults and 4 children between 3 and 10 years old. And yes, we do pay some attention to consuming electricity during sunshine, but we're not going to bend over backwards for it.

Thanks for the numbers. You're catching the best time right now.

Well, April (a little bit March and a little bit May) I don’t see as the "best time" now. I think it could be about average. Therefore my hope is that over the year I will come to over 60%. But I can only say that after a whole year.
