 In my home jurisdiction housing with single phase power reticulation are generally limited to solar systems with 5kW of feed in capacity, so systems are limited to 6.6kW of peak solar panel capacity coupled to a inverter with 5kW maximum capacity.  The requirements have developed and changed significantly over the past 15 years as features of residential solar power has significantly changed during this time, particularly renewables system cost and grid penetration. In my home jurisdiction housing with single phase power reticulation are generally limited to solar systems with 5kW of feed in capacity, so systems are limited to 6.6kW of peak solar panel capacity coupled to a inverter with 5kW maximum capacity.  The requirements have developed and changed significantly over the past 15 years as features of residential solar power has significantly changed during this time, particularly renewables system cost and grid penetration.

   * The increase battery capacity would possibly improve battery life by adjusting up the depth of discharge (DoD) setting in winter and reducing the current draw on the batteries (double battery capacity means each battery would see nominally half the peak current draw on charge and discharge.)   * The increase battery capacity would possibly improve battery life by adjusting up the depth of discharge (DoD) setting in winter and reducing the current draw on the batteries (double battery capacity means each battery would see nominally half the peak current draw on charge and discharge.)
   * Increasing the DoD limit would increase the amount of battery power available for backup in the event of a blackout as well as improving battery life.   * Increasing the DoD limit would increase the amount of battery power available for backup in the event of a blackout as well as improving battery life.
-The high capital cost of the additional battery capacity, coupled with the limitations on usability would probably not make this a viable option in terms of economic payback.+The high capital cost of the additional battery capacity, coupled with the limitations on usability would probably not make this a viable option in terms of economic payback. It would certainly be nice to have though.
