    Solar + Batteries = import from grid

    I've spent a little while tweaking the inverter settings, and the findings might be beneficial for other Solis user who run into a similar problem. In short, I enabled export to grid, limiting to 100w (there was no lower setting). Having done this I'm more likely to see a small amount of...

    Solar + Batteries = import from grid

    Thanks for the reply John. It makes sense that inverters might have step ranges, and unless the difference between load demand, battery and import happens to fall exactly on a step increment, there will be either a potential for draw on the grid, or export to it. Having spent a number of hours...

    Solar + Batteries = import from grid

    I finally got approval from UK Power Networks to install a RHI-5K-48ES and 15kw batteries. The installation went smoothly, as I used a local certified electrician. For back reference, I already had solar installed, using a grid-tied inverter but no batteries, however, the system worked...

    Hi Bob. The short version is that I commissioned an independent company to complete the G99 application on my behalf, which they've completed and submitted for approval. All being well I will then install the hybrid and batteries under the "competent persons scheme" - using a NICEIC registered...

    Options when DNO says limit to zero export for a PV install

    Glenns, how did you get on with your DNO application to UK Power Networks. I'm looking to do the same and hoping I might pick your brains. Also, many many thanks for the links/docs - I needed them!

    Replace AC Inverter with Hybrid and install batteries.

    Good morning. My first confession is that I'm new to the forum (<24 old), however, having been bitten by the solar bug and wish to make changes to my system. Equally, I'd like to help others where I can, whether that's from my own learnings, or how my system operates and performs following...

    Which wattage of inverter to pick?

    Hi there. I've pretty new to the forum, as in <24 new. I'm in the process of trying to understand how to submit a DNO to UK Power Networks and noticed you mentioned a "portal for low carbon applications." Just wondering whether you might be able to clarify where this is. Currently finding it...

    Nett Zero

    Hi everyone, stumbled into this forum whilst endlessly Googling information about G99/100 and various other solar compliance related topics. I hope to drop my first conversation piece (plead for help) shortly, but only once I've spend a while checking to see whether my queries haven't already...
