    How are PV export units calculated?

    This has probably been asked before by a newbie like myself but I couldn't find it. Given the readings from the supplier/dno meter and the generation meter. How can they work out how many units are exported. With no meter actually reading what is consumed by the installation I can't see how they...

    Solution to export control

    Just looking for some advise on export control. We have a single phase supply and looking to install a 50kw solar PV system but the DNO are restricting what we can export.

    Can you export an earth to an outbuilding?

    Can you export an earth to an outbuilding or do you have to put in a separate electrode to make it a TT? What if the main supply is TNC-S?

    Export Tariff

    Does anyone know what happens to the export tariff after the FIT period on an installation expires? Could an installed 50kWp system carry on selling the generated electricity after the fit contract expires (ie 20 years) Thanks for your replies in advance:yes:

My question is; How do CT transformers on the PV 'out' and the import meter 'in' know if there's an overall excess of deficit? I've been looking at the Owl Intuition...

    Dno

    if you need an export meter, it all depends on your preference. You have to weigh up weather its of cost benefit for you to pay to have an export meter installed against the cost saving of your export tariff. Usually 30KW is when the customer would start to look at having an export meter...

    MPANs and export meters

    Had a long call with a FiTs guy at SSE this afternoon. They (and I'm guessing all other suppliers too) are going through all their FiTs systems that are registered with export meters and checking that they have MPANs for the export meters. They believe that an OFGEM audit on them will be...

    2 SB 3800 Inverters, 9600 kwp array, one 60m export cable. Inverter cutting out?

    I have a recurant problem on a system which one inverter gets a AC fault. This happens alternately, either one inverter or the other. The fault seems to be at peak output but does not trip any breakers. The system is very wrong in the fact its all on the one phase (as only one available), but...

    Export Tariffs - Saving to utilities??

    Has anyone calculated how much the utilities are saving by buying in the exported electricity at 3.2p. I'm responding to the consultation and can't remember seeing any actual estimates of how much they are saving.
