Hi, I’m having a solar system installed at the moment comprising of 30 x 385w 11550w) panels with Solaredge optimisers plus 16.4kw of battery storage.

Great idea, thanks binky 👍

Hi all, I’m due to have PV installed in the next month 2 arrays on 2 roofs (4 arrays). The contractor hasn’t included bird mesh and kinda dismissed it when it was mentioned. Do you think I should request mesh? Has anyone without bird mesh had issues?
