Hi all , I’m new here in the Uk and would be grateful for any advice as there is still a lot I don’t understand so though this would be a great place to ask! I’d like to do a diy install of a roughly 4kw system on my summer house/ garage roof as I can more easily face the panels south. I’m...

Hi All, i hope this is the right place to post. finally getting back round to my DIY solar system install after having to change my plans a bit. but anyway I have a few questions and would be grateful for any help :) ill keep it short, my house consumes around 10kw a day and I'm looking at...

Hi All I'm relatively new and still learning and been reading a lot on this forum, but a few things always crop up i don't quite get! I'm getting close to installing my system and have my hybrid inverter which has the following specs ....... Nominal battery voltage: 48V Continuous power...

Sorry, kWh yes. As for the battery sorry I should have been more specific, it will be 14s maybe 120p with the amount of cells I have . So essentially a 48v system. I understand the bms has to suit this, but does it not have to communicate with the inverter as I see so many with bms...

thanks for the speedy replies :) so would that mean you would suspect that these panels are unsuitable? as on both inputs the amps would be too high? also doesn't get crazy cold here (mid uk) but i have seen -10 in some winters but its not often in minus figures for long here contrary to the...

ah so that would explain why higher volts is more dangerous than higher amps in this instance? so how do you go about fusing these and surge protecting them from lighnting strikes? can you put the whole lot on a 20amp breaker and protect the inverter? (its expensive and in short supply so id...

and this should protect the inverter from any unfortunate events?

that's fair enough, i understand that, i wondered if there even exists a fool proof way to protect the inverter from any damage?
