    novice question

    Also have a look at pvgis, it will give you solar irradiance information and projected pv yields Easypv is another free option

    16kW single phase hybrid inverter

    The sunsynk has 3xMPPT all with same current capability which is nice. Time for a little play in easypv if I have time this weekend... There's an 8kw solis single phase but it has different current capability on each of the 2xMPPTs which is a bit annoying imho

    Victron multiplus II 8000 and 10000 in ENA

    Looked at the ENA register earlier and saw the two larger versions of the multiplus are in processing AFAIK these have not been applied for previously, will be good to see them inthe mix. The Quattro 8000 and 10000 are already approved.

    For the Victron's guru out there. A few technical questions

    Hi Bob I don't [edit: want to] sound negative but before you go too far with this may I recommend checking there's an installer who can do victron kit in your area. I spent a fair while looking at victron but cannot find an installer covering my area at all, which kinda puts a dent in it for me...

    Uk battery manufacturer for solar storage?

    Are there any uk companies with fully uk manufactured batteries for use with solar pv systems? I did a bit of web searching... Givenergy are uk owned if I read companies house correctly. So far I can't find out if they manufacture their batteries from scratch and, if so, where its done. They...

    simultaneous AC output from string inverter & AC coupled battery?

    thanks John, your case is similar to what I'm thinking but you have two batteries, I'm thinking of only one battery and connected to the AC coupled hybrid. I'll draw a diagram later, dont have time right now...

    New Installation

    Not sure if this is right, but here's how another novice reads the graphs... import from grid 02:00 - 08:00 and blip at 21.00, less from 06:00 when PV starts (orange line) house consumption around 500W all day except 21-21.30pm (red line) battery charging up from solar 08:00 - 12.00, then it's...

    simultaneous AC output from string inverter & AC coupled battery?

    Hi folks, simple query I hope Option 1 some panels Growatt (or other) 5kW string inverter, Givenergy AIO 13.5kWh battery & gateway which IIRC has 6kW output total AC output possible is 11kW? and can run in backup mode during a power cut to supply PV energy and/or battery energy If you have a...

    New Installation

    Hi, not heard of solarman before, but most monitoring software should enable you to access data for PV generation, battery SoC, grid import & export, house consumption etc. It would be helpful to see the other data from the same day to help appreciate the whole situation. What inverter type...

    How to calculate the generation in kWh of the PV Panels

    Regarding time of use tariffs I recently saw a 'Gary does solar' video on utube where he had a usage/saving calculator which looked like it might be worth a second look. Not tried it myself, no idea what assumptions are behind it.

    What would you do? Solar PV Install

    If I had lots of land I'd be asking myself about ignoring the roofs completely as scaffolding cost could be removed if you ground mount the panels, and they would be easier to maintain or upgrade too. I'd think about where ground mounted panels could go and the length of cable needed to connect...
