So do you think this is enough for a small 2 bed bungalow To be almost off grid ?
Alan, I’m guessing you miss typed 4800 watt pañales and really mean 480w.
Ten of them will give you best part of 4kw which should be sufficient for a small house. I, personally, wouldn’t install more unless you add some power hungry stuff like A/C or an EV.

not sure about batteries if you are not off grid...long payback time and they have a limited life...i am very happy 2 months in with pool heater and ACs running...bills are already tumbling down...

Agreed on batteries. I have seven grands (€) worth of OPZ lead acid batteries. 680 KWh at 48v. They do allow me to run A/C overnight and give me autonomy during outages but the price tag is hard to take.
