Hi, I am getting increasingly confused and puzzled by the minutes between the DNO and the installer. Hopefully, your wise guidance will help me to see more clearly. Quick recall for those needing a catch-up I currently have a 4kWp facing SE with FiT I am planning to: add 11kW of panels over 4...

Hi OddLion I am so glad to see more and more people realizing the potential of having panels on the walls. Of course this should not be the location of first choice for obvious reasons. I assume you have found the links I have provided and read the one from the building regulation gov website...

and lose the Fit? :) no thx lol

Thanks this makes more sense now. Luckily, they are planning the 8kW Sunsynk Hybrid. https://www.sunsynk.org/8kw-hybrid-inverter The thing , if you remember, I already have an inverter since 2016 and the plan is that the batteries are charged from the new PV system but also he existing one.

actually, my question is about if there is a dependency between the batteries and the DNO's response. Nothing else That's the reason of my post. It is not about complaining about the installers. It is just a technical question. Obviously, you are like me you do not know.

mmmhhh, you got me thinking....

:) If that was so simple... I already paid the deposit but prior to this, I had seen about 10 of them. My installation is not a simple one (not the most complex one either but many installers simply don't understand the requirements or can't find a viable solution. Anyway the post is about...

Hello everyone I am seeking some help here because I struggle to understand why my installer does not want to continue discussing the specs of the batteries and he told me he has to wait to know what the DNO's response is. My requirements so far are 1) The batteries must need to be able to...

Go and check some of his videos. Don t worry there aren't many https://www.youtube.com/@GaryDoesSolar/videos Most of your questions about string inverter, micro inverter and optimizer should found an answer there. PS: There are 2 videos about microinverter, make sure you watch the second...

About time the UK catch up with the rest of Europe wrt to house quality!!

Good luck with your project @sparkypenguin

isn't there a comparaison website for energy providers as you have for broadband and SIM Cards? uswitch for instance?

Roof's rights aside. What are you struggling to find? Do you know the size of your roof to estimate the number of panels that can be fitted? What direction does your roof face? What is your annual electricity consumption in kWh? Why do you want PV Panels for? (just to cover your need, knowing...

How insteresting.... Are you really such about that? Is that not DNO specific? Many installers told me there is a charge (Scottish Power, in England North West). Or is it that they want you to pay for their time applying?

Hi you may have come across this thread https://electricianforum.co.uk/threads/how-to-calculate-the-generation-in-kwh-of-the-pv-panels.55061/ @bladerunnerpv mentioned some of the links in his response Most calculators will allow you to change the tilt to play around. As @binky said you'll...

Hello, yes and no. I start to lose faith in the company. Since I paid the deposit, they have become very difficult to reach. I do not know if they have submitted the DNO application or not, I asked for the last 3 weeks to have an action plan and get visibilities of the milestones as well as...

I would first answer the same than Binky. go with the configuration that gives you the higher wattage. I mean configuration. eg if you can fit 10 * 500W panels = 5kWp but if you can fit 14 (because they are smaller and better cover your available area) *400W = 5.6kWp You should always try to...

Just catching up. I would also keep the inverter. From memory, sorry cannot check right now, but the sunsynk battery charge discharge is of 2.5kW. This is quite low but yeah it is only a battery. In the future if you add more batteries, or more panels, or charge from the grid the many more...

I was told the 0% VAT only applies when the system is professionally installed. So you buying the equipments and install does not qualify

This is an idea. This has not yet put it into practice. This is @johnb2713 unless you are talking about somebody else. The same could be said about charging your EV at work (some places it is free) and then run your house from your car in the evening and nights :)
