[QUOTE="binky, post: 507090, member: 490"] OK, so you need a grid tied 16A limited export inverter to get DNO approval. PV needs to be connected on its own cct back to your Consumer Unit. Likewise an Amp clamp will need to go on your meter tails to achieve the 16A limitation, along with setting the inverter to do that. So you will need inverter reasonable close to main board. DO NOT share an RCD with the solar and any other cct. Immmersion controllers are great, but I can't think of any that 'daisy chain' to multiple units. You woudl need wireless controllers as they also need an Amp Clamp at the incoming meter tails, so perhaps just use standard immersion timers and set them up for different times of day on your holiday lets, with an immersion controller on your house.
