    Surprised no one has an answer to this one. I guess nobody has ever fixed pv to concrete tiles?

    Solar Panels Advice on off grid inverter wanted

    Thanks James. So, if that's the case then it's pretty useless for domestic use? So all the pv generated power, and what power is in the charged batteries will not be supplying the house, and can only be used by any circuits connected directly to the output. Is that right?

    So if the power fails, it can only supply loads connected to its output terminals. But when power is on, will it be supplying the house with power from the pv and that which is stored in the batteries rather than drawing from the grid?

    Solar Panels Advice on off grid inverter wanted

    Sorry, no, it's described as an off-grid inverter but in this instance it will be connected to the AC supply.

    Solar Panels Advice on off grid inverter wanted

    I've been asked to fit a Growatt spf 5000 es inverter which will have batteries (not sure what yet) and tied to the 230v domestic mains supply. Although I'm qualified to fit pv systems, I've never actually fitted any battery systems so not sure how they work in relation to connecting to the...
