Adam could you please explain how you know it’s a floating system….. What is it in the diagram that’s telling you that…I’m having to fill out a form to get certification to use the system…it’s a real pain but I remember you saying this and it could be very relevant…..Mike

Adam could you please explain how you know it’s a floating system….. The panel doesn't do a lot, it provides type B RCD protection to the grid tie inverter, and overcurrent protection plus RCD to the esstential board, as well as pulling neutral of the essential board down to earth in the event...

The numbers you stated are actually on the connection blocks in the box….didn’t notice them….

Thanks Adam….you are obviously way beyond DIY! Thank you for responding…I’ve identified the units in the box…and they match up with the photo of the box circuitry….i don’t think I’ve made any errors but if you could take a Quick Look and confirm it is what you said…thanks…

I posted this in the wrong place…sorry…I’m getting a lot of comments about the inverters compatibility….its sold by a French solar kit company and is ready for installation without the need to switch jumpers to make it compatible with France. The only connections that need to be made are to the...

Hi guys…long shot…but I thought I’d try….does anyone know how to wire this up…I’m getting an inverter that will supply the grid consumer unit but in the event of a power cut, it will disconnect the grid side and supply critical power to this box. I believe the grid side goes to the top rail and...

Understand it’s difficult to give a definitive answer, perhaps this schematic will throw some light on it….this is my installation and the tails from the AC unit are not going to the MCBs….the main difference I found here is there is no ring mains, only spurs and each white goods has it’s own...

Thanks Bernard….I understand what you’re saying but I don’t understand the logic….wherever you connect an inverter to a consumer unit in a solar installation, it’s going to make contact with the incoming mains supply. You don’t disconnect the mains supply when the solar power is suppling energy...

Can you explain…

…can the tails going into the consumer unit from the inverter, go straight into the main switch rather than a MCB…I can’t see it makes any difference…thanks

This was my question…should I put it somewhere else? Thanks But I have a question if I may…can the tails going into the consumer unit go straight into the main switch rather than a MCB…same difference, no?

This may clarify things about the AC unit, here’s the blurb on the site…. In the event of a power failure, the batteries integrated into your photovoltaic installation take over and provide emergency power to your home. This feature is similar to that of a dedicated backup power line, and...

Does this help…

I will clarify this with Allo.Solar and get back to you…I get what your saying…thanks…
