    iBoost goes dead and then a few days later, comes to life again

    For the last few weeks, my iboost seems to completely switch off and even if you push any of the buttons or turn the switch to the mains on or off, it does not work.

    Date of original installation

    Can anyone help with estimating a dates of original installations. It needs recording on the certificates but can't come up with a date. What are the signs to look for to estimate a date. Other than rubber cables and old wooden backed wylex boards.

    help with solaredge se4000

    Hi folks, Ok ignore the fit senario issue. Would the solar edge SE4000-er-01-gbr work initially with 8x240 or 250 watt panels. I understand that it would not be as efficient as matching then later add an additional 8 panels (same type) regards wiggly
