[QUOTE="binky, post: 443781, member: 490"] the FiT maybe low, but you still have legal obligations towards the DNO to notify solar has been installed, they may not like a DiY installion? If you register the system with MCS via an MCS registered installer, you don't just get the FiT you also get an additional 4.89p for 50% of what is generated (unless you have an export meter fitted in which case it will be 4.89p for every kWh exported - it all helps pay for the system. I would suggest you find a good, local, small MCS registered installer who is probably an electrician as well. I'm not keen on Solaredge - I've seen too many issues on scholl systems we monitor, plus when they do fail you have to access the roof to repair, which is a PITA. Solaredge is only really good for systems with shading issues. JInko have just launched a panel with MPPTs built into the panels, which gives cell level shade optimisation - 60 cells per panel, so that's 60 times more optimisation than an optimiser. [/QUOTE]
