    Msc certificate

    Hi, It's supposed to be 5kw inverter and from looking at my givenergy app I've had peak exports around 5kw... I'm actually concerned they haven't applied as it's been reading and seeing information that says they spoils apply and get permission before the installation. I have made another...

    G99 not applied for but system already fitted.

    A while ago I was getting quotes for solar for 14 420w panels, 5kw inverter givenergy inverter and 9.5kw givenergy battery. I settled for a local company with msc, hies and who said they'd sort all my paperwork etc. To be honest all the quotes had the companys sorting out my g99. I knew I...

    Solar advice... Complete novice

    Hi Binky... I've now received a g98 from my installer and they say they've applied for g99. Can I setup with octopus as g98 and then 'upgrade' to g99 with them or am I better off just waiting it out for the g99. Also... Can they actually apply for a g99 having applied for a g98 on the same...

    Max power from battery?

    I do know it's a hybrid inverter which can be capped at 3.6kw (although he's told me he hasn't capped it) and then changed to 5kw. I don't understand the g98/99 situation... Although maybe he's applied as 3.6kw inverter and can then tell them it's now a 5kw inverter (as it's had settings...

    Max power from battery?

    Hi and thanks... Looking at the battery it states a discharge of 3.6kw... However this doesn't seem to be what I requested from a quote. I originally requested a 14 panel system with a 5kw inverter and 9.5kw battery so told the solar company I required a g99 as well as I wanted to maximise...

    Max power from battery?

    So my setup is the givenergy 5kw inverter and the gen2 9.5kw battery. When the sun goes down and I'm running on battery how much power should my battery be able to send to the house? It seems to be around 3.5kw before it then draws from the grid as well? Also what would be the maximum the...

    Which set up 3.6kw or 5kw inverter

    I've chosen a smaller local company. 14 420 all black panel G3 givenergy 5kw inverter 9.5kw for energy battery I asked for a list of installs local to me. They also sent phone numbers of customers who are local so I could talk to them (with permission obviously). They are 5 star rated on trust...

    Solar advice... Complete novice

    Thank you very much for breaking it all down... I spent several hours the other night reading posts to try and get to grips with everything.... There's a couple companies trying to push the 3.6 inverter. Am I right in thinking I should go 5 anyway? My understanding (and I'll probably wrong)...

    Ac system

    I recently had ac installed and very happy with it... My question. I had several electricians visit as the ac company requested a 13a spur putting in from a nearby plug and ran outside to a 13a fuse and rotary isolator. Most electricians came and quoted for the job accordingly however two...

    Solar advice... Complete novice
