I now have some ex Nowty batteries to add to the system. Decided to build a shed and run the necessary cables in a duct under the path. I will connect up to my shed solar array initially, then obtain some of those cheap Longi panels I posted a link to and get 4KW on the roof.
Planning to do a dormer extension to put bathroom(s) into two bedrooms, so I can get the building control guy we use for that to sign off the panels at the same time.
The sun has been shining for most of March which is making me even more determined to get this system set up!
Solar on a budget part 2
Re: Solar on a budget part 2
Finally got round to submitting a G98 for solar part 1 and despite no official installer I now have an export MPAN, sadly my wife signed us up to a supplier that doesn't do export.
Now to sort the G99 for new kit and see if they accept me as the installer for that!

Re: Solar on a budget part 2
You can sign up separately to whoever you want for export but you won't get the best price unless you take their leccy.
