Sorry to hear that pal

Couple of questions

do you have an error code for that error the inverter is showing ?
Has it happened only since new panels were installed?
Do you have access to the mc4 connectors for each string?
Are there more than 1 string on each mppt of the inverter?

221.4 from 3.43 - 265.2 pgvis so 83.3%

ok - thanks resybaby and everyone else I know fully understand - I think - my 8 new panels that I have ordered will replace the 14 old panels - but I have the space to place another 6 panels on a separate AC coupled inverter to charge my batteries

So in layman’s terms for a thicko like me I can change my panels as long as they only add up to the 3.43kw that I have. Any additional capacity I would have to have to use to directly charge my AC coupled batteries and not be abled to used for export for SEG even if I give up the deemed export part ...

the other six could be used to charge my batteries as long as I set max grid export to 3.43, well that was my understanding

I agree with you AGT, but he definitely said that I shouldn't replace them , I told him that I didn't think that was the case - but he does it everyday and I do it once every 10 years so what do I know - I thought I could replace what I had with less panels as long as I didn't go above my fit contra...

Hey Resybaby, I was speaking to a well respected local installer earlier regarding the new ofcom directive as mentioned in first post - he reads it that any panel change would change the FIT contract and would be lost - so I don’t know now ? Anyone else got any thoughts on this?

Good to know, thanks ecogeorge - they will be in my back garden which isn't overlooked . the rebel in me will give them a go

the 8 old ones will be turned into a fence like this

8 X 430w JA Solar bifacials ordered from city plumbing this morning , new project to start soon, Resybaby you've started something now!!
