    Best way to maximise export of generated electricity?

    I hope to install an 8kw panel array. I have spoken to 2 installers who both seemed a bit cagey about maximum export on a G99 Fasttrack application. In short one says I am limited to 3.68kw (which I thought was automatic on a G98) the other said 7.68kw but was selling a 5kw inverter on the...

    G99-SGI-3 4.4 kw set export limit phase to neutral loop impedance test on site

    G99 SGI-3 4.4 kw set export limit phase to neutral loop impedance test on site 0.309 ohms and dno max being 180 m ohms or 0.018 ohms so site reading are well over the top or is this not unuall for 1950 lead cable TN-s

    UK Help with Landis and Gyr import / export meter

    Hi, Our meter is an import / export Landis and Gyr. To supply Our readings We have to deduct the R from the T. The meter has now rolled over to 00*** so We can not deduct the R now as this would give a minus reading. Any idea how to give energy company a reading? Someone said add 99999 to...

    How much energy is a UK household allowed to export each day?

    Hi, How much solar energy is a UK household allowed to export each day? Is the export limit a "net" limit, or an absolute limit? ..For example, if one day, i consume 30kwh from the grid, but export 10kwh of solar on the same day, than presumably the energy company takes that as me exporting...

    Solar PV Performance Comparison Tool/Calculator

    Hi All, I've been curious for a while as to how my Solar PV is doing compared to a 'typical' install. Recently, I purchased a Smappee (which is darn useful), and I have also now joined pvoutput.org which is now building a clear picture around my generation and usage. However, I wanted a simpler...
