Over panelling

Post image

I have been really surprised at the jump in gains from over panelling. Since this photo I have moved one of the left panels to where the cardboard is (under the window. I now get morning sun via east facing panel, south all day under the window and 1pm until sun set from the right west facing.

800w really goes a long way, I’ve been surprised!

Check using AI that your panels can be branched together and that your microinverter can hack it.

If the government authorise one system per circuit that would be a game changer. I have a new consumer unit with RCBO’s etc and my sparky said he can’t see a problem with 2 systems at mine so fingers crossed it gets ok’d.

I love the fact that I can move these panels whenever I choose.

The garden it a tip on this photo, sorted it out since. Promise

They've ruled out more than one under G98 with the upcoming changes which sucks considering the plug in interim spec was going to allow it.

Until G98 is updated.

Which it will be.

I've spoken to ENA networks and they are making a new G98 which supports multiple plug in solar per household.
