hi all, new to this so please excuse our ignorance, we are considering a system not for any "Green" reason, this is purely financial. So, therefore, we want to make the best of this, so here goes. The basics are covered, ie, sound roof, south facing. We have have shade issues, also, the system may have to go on two parts of the roof, ie, the main south facing ridge roof and a flat roof at the back of the property with the same sunshine amount to achieve near as dammit a 4Kw system. After some research on the internet and one visit by a company, we would like to consider buying a bespoke system consisting of one of three panels, either Sharp, Sanyo and possibly Schuco. Also, with the shading issues, we have learnt that this can have quite a detrimental effect on electricity production, ie the system not running at the capacity it could do. So, with the inverter issue, instead of using the usual Sunny Boy SMA which would only average the voltage and not allow us to split the system into two parts, thus making two inverters necessary. Would a solar edge inverter take into account the system being in two parts and the shading on the panels and enable the system to run at maximum with that amount of light, or slow it down to the amount that the shaded panels are producing? Phew!!! Thanks for reading this far!! All comments and suggestions would be very welcome!!
