I've seen those but can't get an inverter to match for some reason ... maybe I do need PVSol!

How many modules are you using?

 

[SRE]

21 - to get it just under 4kwp. Customer wants quality for pennies, not sure I'm going to achieve it!

 

[robbobnbill]

A SB 4000TL-20 will do it

Thanks very much - fingers crossed I'll get the sale.

be carefull, 21 x 185w modules will normally exceed 16A, thus puting you into G59/2 & not G/83. Compulsory testing & compliance for DNO can cost £3000.

6rick4 is correct but depending on where you are, it is unlikely that they would insist on a G59 installation.

Give the DNO a ring and ask them what they require before you go for the install.

 

[robbobnbill]

when you contact them make sure you ask what the options are if you cant install though g83 and what the maximum permitted system would be under g83, its always better to break bad news with a solution.

 

[SRE]

Thanks everyone our DNO allows us to notify on G83 up to 3.99kwp after the installation.

Which DNO is it?

 

[SRE]

Electricity Northwest and ScottishPower have said the same for a neighbouring area
