I can still see my initial post, but also still with the warning that it needs to be approved. So as requested, I've copied it and paste it below:
Hi all,
The sunshine outside is right now nice, but the power from my panels is going nowhere, so it's frustrating too. My story is a long one, but ends up with me having a fully installed DIY solar power system that itsn't working properly, and me not being on good terms with the vendor. Who isn't much help at the best of times, to be honest. So I'm hoping you guys can help me sort out the problem. I'm sure it will be something daft I've not noticed.
Hampton is in south Cheshire, near Malpas and Whitchurch.
I'm a retired chartered chemical engineer, I have lots of DIY experience but this is my first solar PV project.
My kit is:
16 off 400W or so panels, so max PV ~ 6.5 kW
Voltacon ESS 5.5 kW inverter (actually made by Voltronic, ESS510)
3 off PylonTech US5000 batteries
Eastron smart meter
I have an Kia EV6 with a 77 kWh battery, hoping to keep it topped up!
