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
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
Hi
I have three phase installed recently to increase generation.
DNO approved the extra 2 solar arrays so we have 3.68KW FIT on one phase and 8KW on phase 2 with 6KW on phase 3
We are coming to the end of the install and my question is as the DNO have limited export to zero how do we share the...
hi
if a pv system with battery storage say has an inverter of 7.5kw but has export limitation built into the inverter or installed as a seperate device and is set to limited to 3.6kw export, can this still come under g98 and be notifed to dno within 28 days of commisioning? or does it have to be...
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...
Hi guys, I can fit 15kwh worth of solar panels on my roof space, and i'm debating if I should either export to off set my electric bills or go off grid.
The roof is on a commercial building but we only have single phase supply.
So is it wothwhile exporting compared to going off grid? what are...
Hi all
I had my PV/Battery setup installed in May and since then all my excess PV is just fed back to the grid for free.
When I initially tried to get setup on Octopus Energy they came back with this:
"To correctly measure your export we have to get something called an export MPAN generated...
Hi all,
We have a 3.9Kw array (13 x Sapphire 300W Black Mono solar panels) on our roof with a Growatt 3600MTL-S mini inverter.
All good and has been working fine since installation in 2018.
However, the system does not give me a 'net' import/export value.
I've been looking for a meter (wifi...
Hi Guys,
SSE are telling me my feed in tariff is for generation and deemed export. I have an R read and a T read on utility meter. The T read is Total import and the R is export. They have told me I have to pay for all electricity that runs through the meter on the T reading - this includes the...
HI all,
customers are building a small house and im coming off thier PME supply to the new build, 25mm 3 core SWA, small two bed house about 40mtrs away
builders have put another MEB box next to the existing one and im fitting a metal clad switch in with 100amp 100ma time delayd RCD to RCBO...
Hi,
I'm looking to expand our current grid-tied solar from 2kw to 4kw, add some battery storage and do zero export.
Has anyone done this? Did SSE accept it?
Any advice on equipment?
Thanks all
I have a house to test soon that has several sub-mains to out buildings, some t&e and some 2 core swa, and one to a swimming pool. The supply is TNCS and I know it should not be exported anywhere but what code should each one get on the EICR?
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...
I received a call from a person who was not a customer of mine asking to connect up his 8 kW PV system.
Its a new build and the modules were installed when the scaffolding was up, this was several months ago.
System is 2 x ABB PVI 3.6-TL-OUTD inverters connected to 32 x 250 watt modules. The...
Hi, Hoping someone who is familiar with Easycert can tell me how to export a DB schedule to excel/word. Apparently its been added as a feature in a recent update but I cannot for the life of me find how to do it.
Any ideas? Otherwise I will email tysoft tomorrow for the answer.
Evening all

More on our take on this at the Leeds Solar blog
in short, bit of a kick in the teeth really, we had 3 customers lined up to have extensions put in based just on getting export payments, and that looked to me to be a sensible start on the gradual road to a zero FITs situation. Suppliers we'd...
Hi,
Mainly been doing domestic installations so far, some small scale commercial still G83.
Finding it a bit of a nightmare gathering all the information and pricing I need to accurately quote for larger size systems.
I think i'm nearly there...

I've just received a letter to say I need a new electricity meter. A smart meter is being offered. I have solar PV with an Immersun diverting excess energy to my water tank, and towel radiators when the water is hot. Hence, my export is comparatively low.
My question is, can the deemed...
