[QUOTE="the-chauffeur, post: 551367, member: 37642"] As I said, reasons. Right now the inverter is already at what I think is the upper limit of the domestic single-phase sizing (6kw). Future plans could include another, rather than a larger, inverter but that would involve some other control mechanisms to stop them fighting with each other. At the same time, generation volumes during summer are already, um, considerably higher than we're ever going to use. Should probably add that our priorities are a bit different to most folks. We' don't want/need outright maximum return on everything all the time - at least not immediately. Like most folks, we don't use all we generate in summer and as yet we've not figured out how to sell back the unused stuff (and given what we can already put out I suspect there's a G99 certification in our future). This is a long game thing. For the time being all we're looking to do is determine whether we can do something relatively simple to optimise the panel usage during the dark times. If we can't, the four dormant panels stay that way for the foreseeable and that's fine too. [/QUOTE]
