Yes they are both small blocks of flats. Could I do that without connecting the array to the "buyer's" meter instead of the communal meter. I think I lose the FiT if I change the supply number it is connected to.

I have two 3.8kW arrays installed 2011/12 on separate sites. Both are receiving FIT payments of just over 60p/kWhr through E.ON. Both receive 4.25p / kWhr on export, calculated as 50% of generation also from E.ON. Both are attached to supplies for communal corridors with very low usage...

I seem to have answered this one myself - you can simply plug into a pass though socket which will communicate wirelessly with a remote stat. Job done!

I originally posted asking for recommendations for a new plinth heater but have managed to get my old one working again. Now looking for suggestions of how to retrofit it with a wireless / programmable room stat.

I'm upgrading my rental flats to meet new CO detector regs for rooms with gas appliances. I have BRK hard wired interlinked smoke / heat detectors in all rooms and hallways. BRK no longer available in UK. They were only replaced in past couple of years so don't want to change them all. I'd also...

Somehow missed that!

I have DC isolators. Would the Solis-Mini-3600-4G 3.6kW work well on a 3.75kw? Can't seem to find the 6kw one available.

Of course! I was more thinking about how long a pro would take. I have fully fitted a lovely 240W off grid system myself and have MC4 crimping pliers to prove it! But I was not considering this one myself even if just from an insurance POV. Someone has quoted me £1200 (without VAT or access) to...

What sort of size job should it be to swap over the inverter?

Thanks for the advice folks. SMA were indeed really helpful despite my being PV owner rather than installer (my installer's website is live but number is dead). They said 99% sure it is the residual current monitoring unit and the whole thing needs to be replaced. My set up is 3.75kW currently...

I'll try this. The reset at night turning off only AC didn't seem to work.

Mine is about eleven years old. Terrible timing - lost about £750 in income!

Thanks. Is that something which would identified on the LED display?

That's really helpful. Thanks.

Might a reboot sort it? And if so, can I achieve this by a 5 min shutdown of AC only at night? Reason I ask is that access to the inverter on the roof is via someone else's flat and although there is a right of access, they are abroad. The AC parts are in a communal hall so no problem...
