Looks good Jamie - did you fit any SPD's at the panel end as well as near the inverters and how did you earth the installation at the panel end? I don't see any clues in the videos but I may have missed this.
Mega video. Question….how can a residential home export up to 60kw of solar power + if you force discharged the batteries? Thought there would be a capped peak on what your allowed and what the house was physically capable of? My homes 100amp fuse would explode 😂 And how hard was it to get permission to export this much to the national grid? Thanks Tom
Don't forget its a three phase system, pretty sure he said the Solaredge inverters were 30kW each, so presumably 10kW each per phase, per inverter, add in the 4.6kW for AC connected batteries and that is 24.6kW export capability per phase. A massive amount, on the 100 amp limit at 240v, presuming I've done my late night maths correctly. Did they really get DNO permission for that, it looks rural. Personally I would have not used Solaredge, a DC connected battery system would have allowed for more battery inverter power.
Thanks for the comment. I can’t remember the exact export limit but the limit is controlled via the SolarEdge modbus. In reality this house uses so much power that the majority is used in the house. This install was part of a three phase upgrade due to the amount of power the property uses.
We are currently looking to install a system to cover our 66,000 Kwh per year usage but can't find much information about planning permission for ground mounted solar. Could you please share any information about the planning side for these projects. Is it relatively simple to get permission?
Hi Jamie, we helped this customer with that side of things. It is up to the customer to complete but we help as much as we can. Are you still looking for a contractor to support you on that installation as we would be more than happy to help.
excellent your really making a difference! Makes me feel like taking up my tools again to help this real change for the better. Well done!
Thank you!
Drive past here regularly, ill have glance on may past next week!
Awesome!

So if bills on average have been reduced by 70%, can we estimate a payback period of under 6 years in this scenario?
In this scenario I believe he is tracking about a 6-7 year payback yes.

@@TheRonskimanthanks for the comment. Yes DNO approval was gained for this system. Export is limited for the system via the SolarEdge Modbus
Any reason you didn't use bifacial panels on this project?
No not really. That may be a consideration on future ones
How do you co-ordinate the batteries with the solar production when they are different brands? Anything special you had to do to get g100?
Yes the solar inverters are export limited as per the DNO’s request.
@@OvalRenewables do you have any sites where you have installed bifacials?
May have missed it in the video but do you lose much efficiency with the panels being quite a distance from the other hardware?
There will be a slight loss on the D.C. cables but we used 10mm to try and remove as much volt drop as possible.

No problem!
No problem. Thanks for watching
200kwh a daily usage. Are they mining bitcoin?
growing illegal plants.
probably heat their home with infra-red panels.
@@edc1569 👍 😂
Haha they have a few EV’s as well as a hot tub and some other high using bits.
