    4.57Kw PV with a 4Kw inverter. Inverter too small?

    Solar Edge will cover some scaffold costs, normally about £200 which would cover a tower and in most cases this will be enough as the installer will know which part of your array they need to access so won't need full scaffold. If it does cost a lot more then the installer can get permission...

    4.57Kw PV with a 4Kw inverter. Inverter too small?

    The common practice for these type of installers is to quote a figure of 'up to 20%'. If you've got severe shading, that means a pole, tree or chimney right in front of your array that will shade some part of your array throughout the day then yes, you may get close to a 20% increase in yield...

    Good News on Solar plus Storage and VAT

    Does anyone know if it only counts for 5% VAT with the first install at a property or could you add a second install and get the battery at 5% VAT too?

    SolarEdge inverters failings

    I don't think Solar Edge would have told you that. They're just the manufacturer of the inverter system. Though I have heard of a company posing as Solar Edge, do you have a copy of the sales pitch?

    4.57Kw PV with a 4Kw inverter. Inverter too small?

    We've been carrying out a cleaning experiment on a Solar Edge monitored system so we can compare panels performance side by side. We clean one panel every 2 months, one every 6 months and one is left dirty. The difference in performance is around 0.3%.

    4.57Kw PV with a 4Kw inverter. Inverter too small?

    Unless you have severe and i mean SEVERE shading you won't see a 20% increase from a Solar Edge system. More likely to be 2-5% depending on the degradation of your panels. Solar Edge helps to make up for the natural differences in each individual panel's output as they'll degrade at different...

    SolarEdge inverters failings

    Dusty 42, one of the great things about Solar Edge is your ability to monitor it! You certainly should be able to see it for yourself so hold out on payment until you get it. All the installer has to do is add your email address to the portal and you'll get an email from Solar Edge. The...

    SolarEdge inverters failings

    Roger Straker. Solar Edge do allow you to replace with any like for like inverter, you don't have to wait for stock as I've done this. I do agree that they should also hold stock locally, otherwise the installer has to front the cash for the replacement. V Lowery, sounds like you've been...

    Any loxone partners on here

    Paying for courses & demo cases wouldn't be such a rub if they helped you out a bit more. As anyone can buy the kit and they stitched our company up by cutting us out then it doesn't matter about the system's capability so much as the way they treat you.

    Any loxone partners on here

    We did become a Loxone partner. Wasted our money. Forum was useful but as members talked about linking it with non-loxone products, (which was a point Loxone used to sell it) Loxone shut the forum. With support only being available M-F 9-5 and problems not occurring at such convenient times...

    Solar Immersion Controller

    we've got an iBoost fitted by www.nakedsolar.co.uk and we have found that we don't use any gas from when we turn the heating off in the spring until it's turned on again in the autumn. If we heat the water using the immersion heater on full blast it takes about 40mins to get up to temp, if we...
