The hybrid inverter generates the AC output from both the DC batteries and DC Solar panels. The hybrid inverters total max output is 16kW but can throttle down to zero as per G100 export limiter.

PS Yes thanks for the link - I'd just watched that Artisan Electrics video too! That situation is exactly what I think is the DNO concern but I don't see what the issue is if I am limited to zero export (the inverters won't have to got to a higher voltage than grid plus grid supply cable voltage...

Thanks for the reply. My understanding is that the inverter can scale down it's generation and switch off entirely based on the G100 export limiting device's CT clamp (senses if current is flowing INTO or OUT of property at meter tails). They all talk to each other. I'm also planning a very...

Hi, I've applied for G99 for 16kW solar PV and battery storage all behind a G100(2) export limitation device set to 0kW (zero export). Single phase 100a supply. DNO has come back asking for a large payment (multiple thousands) for network and supply upgrades as they say this amount of...

Hi all, I've read as much as I can about this and no obvious absolute answer. Looking for opinions. Situation: Full plans building regs application has been accepted (done by me from BuildingRegs4Plans) by LABC. Lean-to extension with low pitch (15deg) double hipped roof. Vaulted ceiling...

Cheers mate. Yeah, no UFH! Small hidden screws (tongue tite). I just dislike the slight give in a floating floor.

Hi, I've read similar posts but seems a little different. Would appreciate thoughts. 5.5x3.5m extension. Solid floor. Subfloor and engineered wood floor covering will be continuous with existing suspended timber floor of main house Structure (bottom to top): 150mm hardcore / sand blinding /...

Hi guys and gals, I've read similar posts but still unsure of this and would appreciate input and wisdom. Question - Best way to fix sister joist solely for fixing plywood subfloor to when joist runs under a wall and only accessible from one side? Details: I'm redoing a small bathroom...

Just to open - I AM NOT DOING THIS WORK - I will be getting a qualified spark to do it. Getting a new kitchen, and all the intended new sockets happen to be on the kitchen wall which is the dividing wall between the kitchen and the integrated garage. There are 3 ring main double sockets on...

Rapid reply, thanks! Good to know - I suspected as much but appreciate it confirming. The existing T+E is indeed PVC and the exposed parts Ive seen show no signs of cracking etc. It does appear to be in conduit in some - but not all - parts of the circuit. It's protected by RCD re: the...

My new house was built in 1960 and as a result the lighting circuits have no CPC (earth) connection. Quotes for a rewire have been in the order of £1500 which we cannot afford (also we have just redecorated). Had a sparky do a survey and confirmed the obvious - either rewire or use double...
