You are truly one of the best installers in the solar pv business at the moment. Hope to use you one day.

[@electrician247]

To kind but thank you!

To me is a bit confusing but the way Mark explain is good content on the video I am looking forward to do a course on the PV photo voltaic installation 👍

[@tonywebb9909]

Not sure why AIO choose that configuration, I know that sometimes the batteries can trip the standard RCBO, its rare lately the RCBOs dont like 2 way bi directional current. So I like to fit a standard RCD and a B25 MCB in-line, because RCDs can handle current both directions. 100mA is not allowed of course.

Whats the price of this nice job .I think its killing the bank Thanks for this video Pro

[@electrician247]

It’s a big old system so yes cost is reasonable. However payback is pretty decent alongside that.

[@neilbissett1240]

Great video you just need a mic cover it’s very windy which makes it hard to ear you 🤔👏😎

[@electrician247]

Yeah I know mate. I’ve got dozens but left them at the unit, sorry!

Hi, I have issues with the consumption, import and export numbers reported by the Givenergy portal. I am thinking this is related to CT clamp connections to the connectors in the gateway unit - in my install - load CT appears to be connected (from grid in) but not PV CT or AC CT so suspect this is causing my issue. Any thoughts from your experience on these installs?

[@tonywebb9909]

A lot of peak power given the roof pitch.

[@electrician247]

It will peak at a season high around 7kW which is great with an 8kW export limit. Nice isn’t it

[@tonywebb9909]

It's a lovely job, I have an East West array on my house with 10+9 Jinko 430s and the pitch is 35, it does peak too high for about an hour midday, so had to order another battery and might up the size of the hot water cylinder as I'm not allowed to export more than 25amps, here in Ireland. These are first world problems!!

[@user-tf8zx4ge1e]

A long shot but: I broke an mc4 connector which was supplied with a solax inverter. Can I just use a regular mc4 connector,or buy a replacement anywhere? Spoken to solax and they are being very unhelpful.

[@electrician247]

Not advised. You need to mate the connectors to the same brand. Some manufacturers will state cross compatibility but it’s not worth the chance tbh. You can buy solax mc4 on midsummer

[@OwBrown]

Query: do you do in-roof solar?

[@electrician247]

Yes we sure do

[@iankeye]

Im.looking for quotes for the same NW SE roof wirh a flatroof too, any chance of a quote
