There's a local eBay listing selling a wholesale lot of batten lights. 5ft and 6ft. 62 in total. Various brands. I was wondering if they are able to accept led tubes? List below Fitzgerald pdp158/hf/x 1x 58w non corro 5ft x16 Fitzgerald pdp270/hf/x 2x 70w non corro 6ft x2 Fitzgerald...

I'm a building contractor and though I know the basics of most trades an electrician I'm not. I installed my own system Inc battery's on my garage and got a sparky to connect it up and commission it. It's a pretty simple process and the solar stuff is mostly plug and play. It's making sure...

Even though as consumers the last thing we want to do is export to the grid the ability is there to do it.

Bob. I mentioned your installer knew it was doubtful they would except your set-up and binky mentioned they count it as 2 seperate setups so why are you surprised. Fingers cross you have a good installer who can work the setup and get a understanding DNO worker who is willing to tweek the...

Could have been this. Maybe?

Yeah Mark. It's always better to avoid importing but at what cost? I get from the post The OP is on a tight budget and listed prices between the option 3 inverter and a 3.6kw Solis for example is a couple hundred pounds more. Imo unless you go the full Monty and throw loads of cash at going...

For myself very good. Most dinners are cooked either slow cooker or air fryer and the way we dine it's usually still daylight so combo of solar and batterys. Washing and dish washer run on the cheap overnight tariff. The days we struggle would be on a Sunday if it's a miserable day. The...

My advise would be future proof your system as best your budget will allow. I'm using the Solis 3.6k hybrid inverter which when installed around may. Brilliant output whilst the sun was shining. Get to November and the output dropped to about 10% of my usage. I now have just under 10kwh...

Has your installer given you a spec list? He must have said it's possible and given you a list of materials he is going to use. Maybe post those and the experts can tell you if they are capable of achieving the figures you are wanting

There are plenty of experts on this forum, I'm not one. Just giving my opinion Maybe they don't know maybe. They are like your installer relient on the dno to give a yes or no. Tbh I don't believe it's black or white with the dno. From threads I've read there is a few jobsworths and...

if the op can't charge from off peak then is this a problem to what he requested? Imo this is prob why the installer is waiting on the DNO reply.

You can't be happy with your installer as he won't answer your questions so you need to post on social platforms. Maybe the reason he's waiting for the dno responce is he knows you can't have what your asking for but he wants them to confirm this? Maybe I don't know. If DNO says no, you...

Simple, Change installers if your not happy

I'm using Solis. No problems using the octopus cheap rate to charge my batterys

I can't find anywhere where I can turn off the forced charge from grid without turning off the timed charge from grid. Unless I'm missing something

Yeah. I had 2 us2000 then added the US5000. As mentioned above, I turned off the force charge from grid and yesterday I got the missing readings. I guess this is a known issue with Solis as they pointed me str to the problem..

Ok. I turned off the setting like Shawn from Solis recommended and even though yesterday's reading were still blank. Today I have started to get readings again. Hmmmm only down side my battery's are flat cos no overnight charge. O well I guess I don't kneed to know my usage

Well I got a reply from Solis though I'm not sure how helpful it is. This is Shawn who in charge of your country service, I'm local service engineer of HQ online Operation and Maintenance group, here is my answer about your question as follow: You can try to switch off the "Force charge from...

Imo if your not bothered about the fit payments. Which you don't seem to be, turn off the "export to grid" in the inverter and just use and store what you have. Curious. How did you come across the installer?

Superlec direct. Always been reliable and a very competitive price. Plus you get the option to make up your own kit.
