"I have 10 of them NW and even in Winter there are been days (the overcast one) where they produced more than my 4kWp SE (panels from 2016)" So NW is 6.1kWp into one mppt on the Lux inverter? And 4kWp SE into one mppt on the original inverter? Instinctively surprised it works so well in...

The letting agent should have a copy of the paperwork stored in some manner. It's for work done on your behalf and which you're paying them a management fee for. Also presumably classed as safety related like a gas safety check cert? If they don't then it may be worth pushing to see what records...

Just from reading different forums the only thing which comes to mind is a victron charge controller aimed at a lower battery voltage than the usual LiFePO4 48-51V systems. You could make that work with a single panel. put the specs into https://www.victronenergy.com/mppt-calculator. 12 or 24V...

What's the Voc and Isc for the panel?

Do you know the Voc value for your east facing panels? Then you can work out the string voltage to see if they can get over the inverter startup voltage. The garden panels are likely to have different Voc and presumably are fed into different spec of inverter, so unfortunately comparing your...

1 what was the weather doing that morning? Is the data for a sunny day? 2 If that's the sg04-lp1 5kw inverter then the startup voltage in the datasheet is 125V, what's the Voc for the panels?

Was digging around the internet looking at G99 fast track SGI-3 and found this 80A fuse limit article on my travels, not seen mention of it on here before so thought I'd post a link https://connections.nationalgrid.co.uk/news-and-events/latest-news/standardisation-of-fusing-to-80a no more...

Hi Ollie78, have you seen victron's MPPT sizing calculator? https://www.victronenergy.com/mppt-calculator consult the datasheet for your panels and enter your panel specs and number of panels and it will show what MPPTs match up. An RS 450/200 has 4 MPPT inputs so could arrange 4panel into each...

Indeed. NB the following is a general comment not a complaint againt Myenergi in particular... My subconscious threshold of made in Britain was 'are the cells made here', or at least 'do they assemble the battery from imported cells' Then where does the B.M.S come from? What percentage of...

Recently saw this which says myenergi battery made in UK https://www.tradesparky.com/solarsparky/battery-storage/myenergi/myenergi-libbi-505sh-hybrid-5kw5kw Can't find anything on myenergi website stating this though

Yes, think the newspaper article I read said that the lanyard safety device BT (?/others) offered on subscription which could be used for calling assistance in case someone has a fall and can't get to the phone to call for help no longer works, despite assurances apparently being made to the...

Love your droll turn of phrase, binky, made me laugh.

Hi Ronski, was reading back through a few older threads and noticed this point. Just curious how you control the battery chargeup rate, if you have time to share, is it part of the victron's settings? Thnx

Was on my travels around the www earlier and found this linked to from the victron community forum, thought some here may be interested. https://www.victronenergy.com/live/drafts:dynamic_ess#uk I've not read this in any detail, this is just what popped up of interest... Dynamic ESS is an...

Hi folks, stumbled across this on my travels today, not seen it here before so thought I'd post it, expect most of you know already, but just in case... link: https://octopus.energy/octopus-smart-tariffs/ for Outgoing Fixed elsewhere it says if on Octopus Go then you get Lite version with...
