Been paying for Leckey for days because Grid voltage is to low for turbine / P.V. Inverters to connect. All that wind and Turnip is just sitting there. Voltage is 195.59

Wow, no other component failures? Won't be doing the local transformers any favors. Stay safe!

After an eye of the storm quiet for a handful of hours yesterday it has been blowing gusts around 28-31mph here through the night ,..& onward
another day of lockdown (that's familiar)

That's were my good old on / off grid SMA Sunny Island inverter comes in.
Alternatively you could temporarily alter the lower voltage grid monitoring settings on your GTI inverter(s) and do the struggling grid a favour.
19.6kW PV > 114MWh generated
Ripple 6.6kW Wind + 4.5kW PV > 34MWh generated

40kWh Thermal storage

Really govt ought be saying turn off non essentials. (like you should anyway) & reduce the load.
Practise for April & autumn price rises

That's where my good old on / off grid SMA Sunny Island inverter comes in.
An important point for any new or upgraded system. It will be key for mine.

It's a fair point and in my case Victron.

Yep, PV directly connected to your battery stack via a charge controller works too.
The loop was closed when I installed a 2kW continuous supply inverter off of the stack. I think k it can take momentary peaks of 3.5kW or so.
