Ah ok........


Does it really ?

May I ask what your background is and what experience you have with Solar PV / Inverters / Batteries ? Interested to hear.

Installed inverters since 2008 of which 90% still working (untouched) never had an issue with a solar panel. Battery technology recently with the evolution and enjoying. I also have city in guilds in battery technology

Very good John.

Look forward to future chats

My only problem is having the time to contribute here (work is busy running a business and being on the tools also)

I guess I will have to try one liners

any idea what makes of inverter? Back in 2008 I would assume they were the old transformer types?

Didn't know there was a C&G in batteries, I might have a look at that. I've just retired, but batteries are interesting.

It's an open collector output which pulses at a rate relevant to current flow.
