[QUOTE="bignose2, post: 543302, member: 26733"] Hi, I really hope you can advise as to be honest most installers are asking quite a lot of money & not really advising of what is involved. Last year I had 3.6 Solis grid tied (non-hybrid) inverter (4.2 PV) installed All works well but no batteries then. I would like to add batteries so I think the easiest (slightly more expensive) way would be to swap for a hybrid. Do you know if the connections are basically the same (apart from the batteries obviously) & maybe more data, CT etc. but non-Grid stuff. From what I can see from the manuals the Hybrid has the same connections as the non-hybrid It seems still a single main power Grid cable into the CU which I assume must be standard into the meter, all isolations as already installed etc. The meter seems to have Imp & Exp written on it : EML M22. ECA2.v v1 I just cannot see how anything extra would be physically required on the grid side. Could I just disconnect the old inverter & replace with a hybrid & connect the batteries. Thanks I/A [/QUOTE]
