    Setup for Growatt Inverter and a Pylontech Battery.

    Hi. I wonder how things worked out for you? Are you happy with the combination of the growatt inverter and the pylontech battery? And does the recharging over night work? I had today a company coming around which suggested an growatt inverter but with growatt batteries. When I mentioned...

    Which hybrid inverter for installation by an not MCS certified electrician which works with octopus agile?

    Thank you. I'll look into those. Which one do you prefer and why if you don't mind me asking? Wish there would be a comparison test for hybrid inverters, especially as they are not that supercheap to buy, but maybe they are all too close or this is to specific to gain much interest. Thank you

    Which hybrid inverter for installation by an not MCS certified electrician which works with octopus agile?

    I find it more than irritating that sunsynk seems to force this by not providing warranty / technical help for their equipment when it is not installed buy one is their approved MCS installers. It is even hard to find that information on their website. Just the negative reviews pointed that out...

    Which hybrid inverter for installation by an not MCS certified electrician which works with octopus agile?

    I thought I have found a good PV kit to have it installed by my builder and electrician, which should have been the sunsynk 3.6kw hybrid inverter and 2 * us3000c pylontech batteries to start with. I'm not interested in exploring energy back into the grid therefore I wouldn't need an MCS...

    Cable size between inverter and consumer unit

    Hi. Thank you. The consumer unit was new put in a year ago when we started the extension. So everything which is not labelled is truly free. So this means we need not an extra cu for the PV, which would be brilliant. Thanks as well with the explanation with the extra cable from the PV to the...

    Cable size between inverter and consumer unit

    Thank you all. Yes, those two unlabeled ones are unused. I though it is normal that an unused one doesn't have a label, ha ha So that means that the electrician can use this consumer unit and add the new 6mm cable to the inverter without the need of a second consumer unit, right? And without...

    Cable size between inverter and consumer unit

    Thank you, so I don't need an extra cable to the outside connection from the loft, right? I calculated that the electrician might need a separate consumer unit for the pv, exactly because of the rcd you have mentioned. But as the consumer unit is just 1 year old, maybe he can use it with not...

    Cable size between inverter and consumer unit

    Thank you again. Last question, our main electric connection for the house is outside and the consumer unit inside under the staircase. The electrician will just need the 6mm ac cable from the hybrid inverter in the loft to the area of the current consumer unit right ? Or will he need another...

    Cable size between inverter and consumer unit

    Hi. Thank you for your fast reply. This is for the cable size of the ac cable from after the hybrid inverter to the consumer unit, right? Thank you for the reminder with the rcd, I'm not sure they can fit it, but at least there is space for a separate consumer unit

    Which hybrid inverter for 3.6kw

    I appreciate all your help. I'm looking into the 3.6kw hybrid inverter because my roof can not have more panels anyway on it and it would fit well to get the easier UK g98 application form. A YouTube video I have watched mentioned that the givenergy inverter has the benefit to automatically...
