Anybody familiar with Solar Panel Inverters?
I have an existing Solar Panel install – all working fine, providing free electricity when generating, as well as export to grid.
I intend adding a Hot Tub, and would like (when Solar Panels it's generating) to have Solar electricity powering the Hot Tub.
My understanding is that the Inverter generates at a slightly higher voltage, in order that it ‘allows’ any on-premise use of the generated electricity to not get rung up on the meter.
(That’s the way it was explained to me.)
If I add a Hot Tub cct as per schematic, will that work in same way … assume it will as all electrical feeds are common to the main Switch Fuse.
The inverter is simply connected to CU (and hence effectively meter tails) by its feed ‘in’ to the MCB feeding into the Consumer Unit instead of out.
