Discuss 10KWp system over the phases in the Solar PV Forum | Solar Panels Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net


Spoke with our DNO engineer this week and they've decided several months ago that they should ignore pv ratings which is what they wanted initially and just use inverter output ratings to size systems ,have to agree this is the way it should have been from the start!
anyway they did'nt feel the need to tell anyone this ,and so they are now overloaded with paperwork and new staff who have'nt a clue ,nothing new there!
this week I've had several applications returned asking me to fill in the attached application form (blank) which i sent back highlighting the fact that i'd already sent it and they never even looked at it .

DNO chap said the main problem was in rural areas of the Uk the transmission is 132kv down to 11kv which meant that they have less control over voltage rises and he said this will ultimately mean any large rural system >4kw per phase could well be designated G59 at their discretion
as the grid is aging and in need of repair / upgrade
