A bit of information I have just spotted on youtube
apparently the Chinese regard hybrid, to mean off grid in a black out for about 30 minutes to an hour, and any prolonged "off the grid" time ie days will burn out a hybrid inverter. I really need to know if this is the case.
As Growatt hybrid inverters cost twice the amount as their off grid inverters, I would be stupid to buy one if it's just going to leave us in the dark when the mains gets turned off.
What's the alternative to hybrid?
For those of you who don't know..... France supplies Britain with 50% of our electricity. Southern England being closest to France, will be affected if there's a switch off.
France has a problem with it's electricity supply; it's gas powered stations can't cope and the nuke stations have been turned off due to decay because of a lack of investment.
Macron want's to build new nuke stations but this will take years, and he is now talking about turning off the supply to the UK.
Ok, if this happens the national grid will no doubt pump up the grid to supply as much as they can, but Devon and Cornwall watch out.
Coal stations will not happen over night, even if they did, it's been so long since the pits were working there are no miners anymore, all gone into different jobs and retired.
