Yes, it's connected to the mains permanently and everything works as if no solar was fitted if you know what I mean? Yea, I had three thermal solar panels fitted about twelve years ago, not given me too much trouble, due for a glycol change again though. Yea, work brilliantly in summer but do...

They only need just over 1.5 acres with a bit of extra space for the felling. My farther in law bought the field and the deal is I can use part of it to grow trees and he gets free processed wood for his log burner, luckily he doesn't use much. Just checking out the website now, looks very...

Yea, I planned for a rise in energy costs(not this much, gotta be a temporary spike surely) about 8 years ago and planted 1500 trees with the idea of getting a gasification boiler at a later date. Still using a basic wood burner to heat the home in winter. Keeps me fit processing all the wood...

Thanks Binky. That is perfect for me to complete my own diagram. Hopefully will stop pestering you guys now! Although....do you know anything about wood boilers? (Jk)😉 Thanks for all the help. Will update you when anything happens with WP. Cheers 👍

I have explained that the inverter is limited to 3.68kw but didn't send the cert for the inverter as it's on the ena type test website but I may send it over with as many other documents as possible just to make sure they have everything they need. I'm still waiting for a reply from Western...

It has been checked over by an electrician so safety isn't a concern in this case, but yes I have no experience whatsoever with the forms etc. Times are tough and getting tougher. people will always try to save money where they can, it's always been the same. One thing that pisses me off is...

Will do. Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it. 👍

If you don't mind. That would be a great help, thanks.

Hhmm. That could be it. I only sent a Google image with all the electrical component locations. The inverter is on the compliance list so I thought they check that themselves. I might have a bit more work to do to make them happy. 😆 Cheers

They received the g98 and they attached it to the email. I've just sent an email saying the g98 is correct and no company was involved with the installation. Will keep you posted. 👍

Hi all. I've received an email from Western power and they want the company who installed it? I fitted it myself and filled out the g98 accordingly. Am I going to get trouble from this? Its a 3.6kw system. Here's the email. We have received the attached documents in the post this morning to...

To find the grid voltage,long press the up arrow to get to status long press again and the tap the arrow until you get to grid voltage. The wifi dongle is worth having as all the info is saved and can be checked from anywhere.

Yes, install yourself make sure the install is done well, get electrician to wire it into the CU. Send off your completed g98 and you should really notify BC. Also make sure the panels dont protrude above the highest part of the roof. Could be tricky as its a flat garage roof?

Hi again. Its all up and running, currently generating 150ish watts, the weather is awful LOL. Was nice to see over 3kw yesterday when the sun was out. I just want to double check my g98 form with you guys before I send it off. I've filled it in myself and left the the Accreditation /...

Thanks for the valuable info. Going to use unistrut now. Yea, sorry for the noob questions will have a more thorough read on the forum. Was getting a bit overwhelmed with it all and rushing into it.

Hi guys. I'm trying to figure out how to fit 8 325w solar panels in series on a outbuilding(2002 build)at my home. It's steel framed with timber joists and a corrugated concrete roof. I would like to do all the work myself and get a sparky to check and connect it to the grid. I'm only going for...

Cheers guys! I do now, when I started I couldn't look down on a triple ladder! 😆

I'm not an electrician but a budding enthusiast. I've fitted lightning conductors for the past 25 years, yes quite uncomplicated but it pays the bills. :) I'm hoping to get information about installing solar panels(small system) on my own, getting them certified and connecting them to the...
