    Can I add solar panels to an existing system without jeopardising my feed in tariff? I have a 3.8kw system but was thinking of adding a few more. Could I have 6kw of solar but limit the inverter to 3.8kw so it will help in the winter when I need it the most. Or would I need a second meter to...
