Hi All
This is a something that is concerning me about solar PV instillations.
What is stopping someone from using a isolated transformer with a bridge rectifier to give a dc output and feeding it back into the inverter while on economy 7 rates during the night at 7p per kwh then selling it...

A friend has just has a PV installation completed by a rent-a-roof company.
He's adamant there's no separate generation meter and that readings are taken directly from an inbuilt meter in the inverter remotely by use of a sim card. His words, not mine.
Is this likely? I know remote reading and...

Hi all,
I've had a couple of enquiries lately from clients who have been (somewhat surprisingly) informed by their DNO that the generation meter is not Ofgem approved. Why, all of a sudden, are DNO's deciding that MID approval is not adequate/accepted? Don't they understand the history/nature...

Just been offered supply of Landis meters but they are going fast. Not sure of current supply levels and I am not selling just passing on the contact info if anyone is stuck.
Hi
where is the best position to put the generation meter
1. Next to the main metering supply. Or
2. In the garage by the inverter
The inverter is about 15 meters away, from the mains point
Cheers
I am interested to hear how other installers have found different 'leads' companies?
We have used Solar Guide for a lot of our leads and we have a really high conversion rate with them. Definitely our best experience with them so far.
We have also used Companeo and unfortunately ended up...

Hi All,
First post on the forum.
I am wondering where we stand when we install a PV system on 2 seperate roof elevations, with 2 seperate inverters, but 2 meters? Can we register 2 meters with the MCS and with energy suppliers?
Thanks in advance
I have 2x inverter domestic installation and need some advice on the meter position.
In order to meter generation from both inverters, and both inverters needing a separate MCB, I need to place the meter before a 2 way CU. Would the correct approach to be take tails directly from a henley block...
