Which supplier??

I got the same size but slightly lower output models recently and noticed the pallet was naff....first time buying so just thought it was the norm.... luckily we have a few chunky forklifts so wasn't a problem but good advice. Also re Binky, I get what you mean about the size of these things...

Unfortunately it's everywhere, we manufacture in the UK and the supply chain for most components was ruined in the lockdowns. We planned well ahead and stocked up on everything, often buying at what was a premium and is now considered cheap. as the saying goes “The best time to plant a tree...

PylonTech US5000... tempted to grab a couple more from another supplier, can't see the price dropping so can always re-sell but none of the suppliers seem to have stock and delivery times are always "estimated and may change"

Parts of it... but it shouldn't cause an additional 3 month delay. I ship to and from China in a weekly basis, costs have gone crazy over the last couple of years and there have been some big delays but I suspect this is more that they simply cannot meet the demand and there is probably some...

Just to update so people know what they are in for... my batteries are now due in October!! :mad:... Not very impressed with an additional 3 months delay... will bring the total delivery time to over 6 months. Unfortunately none of the suppliers seem to have stock of batteries... at least my...

ITS Technologies but this was back in April... gone up now to £1638 for pre-order.

Please keep us all informed on how you get on. I was originally thinking of using some EVE batteries for my setup as they are pretty easy to source and much cheaper than off the shelf systems. Ultimately I went for the pylontech us5000 *2 as I can hook them straight to my inverter but even at...

Great info....I've just completed the first part of my system (solar and inverter) the batteries (2x pylontech 5000) are arriving in a week or so....it's cost me less than 6k and ordered through my business so VAT can be claimed back, also solar counts as capital investment so there's the 130%...

You don't have to use the backup, that's just if you want to run a cct for when the grid goes down...as for the cable sizes they are a bit beefy in the schematic but I'm guessing they have done that to cover all bases...you need to use what's suitable for your installation.

Does this help?.....

I've recently had my panels and inverter from ITS... their communications has been a bit naff but the deliveries have all been decent.... My batteries are due "early July" so fingers crossed. 🤞🤞

Thanks Binky...I had a look at the spec sheet and it said 120v start-up voltage so thought that maybe required. Thanks for confirming. (y) Will test it with some panels tomorrow.

Hi All, Just taken delivery of a Solis RHI-6K. I wanted to test if the unit was working correctly prior to installation so I've hooked up the just the AC-GRID but the unit is showing no signs of life. Any of you know if it requires any ancillary connections before it'll operate or do I have...

Hi Binky ... UK Power networks have a web portal for it... you fill out everything online and submit from there....https://smartconnect.ukpowernetworks.co.uk/ Probably have a form too somewhere but I found this very convenient

It was pretty easy TBH... feel free to ask on the forum or drop me a direct message, just be aware... I'm a complete amateur ;):)

You're most w You're most welcome ;)(y) Edit....Just to add... Solis UK support ( https://solis-service.solisinverters.com ) Have been pretty helpful, worth registering there if you have one of their inverters. They have all the wiring diagrams, setup guides, certificates and are pretty...

Yes G98. My DNO is UK Power Networks and have been very good (so far), they have an entire portal for low carbon applications. They wanted the G100 cert (for export limiting) and G9X (ENA Test type cert) for the equipment, a site plan, photos of the consumer unit, main fuse and meter and a...

That'll be the export limit but you could have a larger inverter. I've gone for the 6kw Solis Hybrid for a few reasons but I'll have to limit its export to 3.6kw. Not a big deal as I don't really want to export anything at just 5ppkw.

Well at least you'll beat the October hike.... I'm just waiting on ITS to get their shipments in, Hopefully not much longer for either of us 🤞
