[QUOTE="SolarSystem, post: 526953, member: 35039"] I've since also found this: "It should be noted that a battery will not give backup ‘out of the box’ so it needs to be planned for ahead of the install. Furthermore, most people are not aware that a standard UK home solar array is required by law to turn off in a power cut, for the safety of grid workers, so it is usually of no help in a power cut (the exception being our advanced Level 5 option below)." from [URL]https://tanjent-energy.com/blog/power-cut-backup-options-with-battery-storage/[/URL] So this concurs with what the fella told me. ANd then this: "[I]Update 2022: In line with the latest IET Code of Practice on Electrical Energy Storage Systems we now aim to fit a separate earthing system whenever we install a battery system with off-grid capability, so that extra cost will be included in all future quotes."[/I] So I'm just wondering what that involves.
