Given DC coupled systems are out of question do I need DNO permission before I install any storage on the AC side? Even for upto 3.65kw capability?

GoodWe is nice choice but I am getting no support from anyone on this yet. I am wondering if there are other similar choices, perhaps matching with 4kw panels not just limited to 2.5kw max.

Ok, let me come up with thermostat based fan solution, it is dead easy to do it using a few xiaomi component out of box. This will help for now. regards, Afsar

Just had a look and can see GoodWe GW2500 in very reasonable price on ebay. I am not into this field so don't know much about these ebay stores, where would you recommend to get these products from? It goes well with pylon lifepo4 batteries. This is exactly what I am after. Though I would have...

Thanks for the input binky. Is GoodWe a replacement for SolarEdge or will it go alongwith?

That's very bad deal then. Selling electricity to us for @15p/kwh and buying @5p/kwh!

Thanks binky for quick run of choices. I wasn't aware of new payment system starting from next year. Currently my FIT rates works out as appx 18p per kwh of generation (assuming 50% export). Any indicative rate offered in the new scheme yet? A quick search on the intenet couldn't give me any...

Hi folks, I have just joined the forum. I am a homeowner based around London area. I have some understanding of how things work in electrical world. Very interested in renewable so I thought I would join the forum to see the latest and greatest of the industry.
