Thanks for the leg-up John, much appreciated, will take me a while to digest... couple of further queries... i) How did you get to Approx 12A for the Max AC current output please ? ii) I couldn't believe the 245V startup voltage either, Vbat+5V sounds sooo much better :) , which would put it...

Yeah, thanks MHarv, I'm aware of the ENA noise on Multiplus etc, it's been going on for a while apparently, I'm sure it will get sorted in the end.

The Easysolar-II in my post (48/3000/35-32 MPPT 250/70 GX) was £2061 with vat It's bigger brother, Easysolar-II 48/5000/70-50 MPPT 250/100 GX, is £3322 with vat

Hi folks wonder if someone could spare me a few grey cells on this please... I'm starting to get my head around victron gear and have started with the easy solar spec for EasySolar-II 48/3000/35-32 MPPT 250/70 GX as an example I did a forum search for easysolar but didn't spot anything...

For the OP: - The original quote is for an AC coupled system? - I'm not too familiar with solaredge or tesla kit, but the 8kw inverter would be a string inverter? So there should be an additional AC inverter connected to the tesla battery, or is the tesla a so-called AC battery which includes...

There are a few high rated single phase inverters around Hybrid (DC coupled) https://midsummerwholesale.co.uk/buy/solax/solax-x1-g4-hybrid-7-5 (NB requires HV batteries) String https://midsummerwholesale.co.uk/buy/SolarEdge/solaredge-10000-home-wave-ben...

Hi Binky, is there a commercial link between Growatt and Givenergy then? Thanks

Hi folks, wonder if someone can help with a query please on hybrid inverters A hybrid inverter can be used to charge the connected battery with energy from solar PV panels, and convert to AC to power electrical items in the house or export to grid. A DC coupled system So in principle the...

Hi maverick, hope it has helped you think through the factors in making your decision. Please note I'm a complete amateur, just playing with the free tools and doing lots of research, so sorry but I'm not going to make "a recommendation", other than to have a go with the free tools and try...

Hi, have a look at PVGIS (https://re.jrc.ec.europa.eu/pvg_tools/en/) IIRC it will work out the optimum pitch angle and it will calculate kWh produced monthly, but only for an individual roof. You can manually enter the pitch too. Also free, there is easy-pv too (www.easy-pv.co.uk). You'll be...

Had to check the calendar there, rubs eyes, nope it's not the bbc's 1st April story! "Thin, metallic sheets are hidden behind the plaster of his walls, which are connected to the mains electricity of his house." The example shown is installed on the ceiling though, so wallpaper seems a bit...

Hi maverick, "The computer measured roof is about 5.9m X 4.2 m." I'm wondering how many kWp you can actually fit to that roof. How was the roof computer measured ? I expect this has already been done, but just to be sure, what does the tape measure say if you measure across your property...

Hi Bob, just wondering if you came to any conclusions wrt. wall mounting?

I've not seen SAJ kit on the web, the 3.68 may just be the export limitation, which may not be the same as the capability inside the house. If you have copies of the specs for inverter and battery that would be helpful. Is this intended to be a DC coupled or AC coupled system? Shame that's...

not sure what you're thinking of, or how much load you want to connect, search portable power stations no idea how good/useful as not used one myself

Thanks John. Ah, just the energy storage device in ENA speak!

I'm puzzled, if battery + inverter with no solar needs a g98 cert., then presumably the items need to be approved on the ENA register? How does this work for a self-build storage battery?

15kW! eek!

I presume for the no PV panel case that you need an AC coupled inverter and any necessary consumer unit mods. What is the situation with DNO Gxx certificates for battery only? If it's connected to a consumer unit which is also connected to the grid, then by default DNO would considered it as...

Hi, out of curiosity which was the 11kW single phase inverter please?
