[QUOTE="Dave Edwards, post: 352738, member: 24049"] SLIPSHOD, thanks, I can now see your pictures. The message I got before said something like "You are not allowed to view files until you have at least 10 posts" It seems I've passed that threshold now! I was talking a bit more today to our hydro engineer, he thinks one of the main problems with us having a standalone system is the metering aspect. As it stands, it seems the system we CAN fairly easily & cheaply set up allows us to feed all our output into the grid, but when the grid has an outage, our generator has to trip out and stop generating too. The scheme we are intending to build is going to cost in the region of £100,000 and it seems a real shame that for that amount of money we could generate plenty of power, yet not be able to use it if/when there's a power cut! This sharing of ideas is really useful, if only to help me begin to understand the problems involved. I appreciate peoples input. I know there aren't any crystal clear and obvious answers. I'm attempting to gain more understanding so I can begin to see the potential options more clearly. [/QUOTE]
