Fitting multiple arrays to one supply?

[Pymmie]

I've been asked to visit and quote on Solar PV to around 10/12 holiday lodges that I know are supplied from
one supply (3ph) and just have individual check meters.

How is it possible to give each lodge a separate system?

Each lodge has a separate 16mm 3c swa back to a mccb board with a check meter fitted to each lodge.

As its over 100 miles away I want to travel with the correct info

Thanks in advance

From the FiT point-of-view it will depend exactly what a 'lodge' turns out to be. If they are park-homes then they can have individual FiTs on a single MPAN, otherwise it will all be classed as a single site and the tariff set on the total TIC size for the lot.

From an electrical point-of-view it will depend on how the 3 phase is split - hopefully 4 lodges on each phase will make things simpler. Strictly you should be using a single 3-phase inverter to ensure balance across the phases but that is probably not going to be practical. Also the distance from the mainboard to the lodges will determine the volt drop.
