I've been working for a solar company in the UK for a few months now and we are really happy with Sigenergy. We recently left a job and had a warning flash up for an error so we went back. We couldn't diagnose the issue so we called Sigenergy. They looked into the issue after we confirmed the installation was correct. Turns out the earth rod originally installed, 15+ years ago, on the house was 20mm short of the depth required. All worked out by the smart "ai' hybrid inverter!

A bit late for this one, but a suggestion for a future install. Our Sailing club has concrete tiles on the roof and had Solar panels installed recently, the installers went for an in roof system so all they had to do was remove all the tiles where the panels were installed, added the tray system, then the panels, the result is very neat and no danger of a leaking roof, no bird proofing needed plus we now have lots of spare tiles!

Hi Jordan, I'm not sure about what you said about the three-phase inverter being the only one available, Victron has been doing that for years in fact I could turn my two "in parallel inverters" system into a three-phase just by adding a third inverter. I am surprised not to see more Victron equipment nationwide, especially among expert and dedicated technicians like your good self. Thanks for sharing this one more experience with us 🙏

That's what my sister did recently. The main ESE facing side had escaped attention, old slates and the oldest section needed felting properly for the first time so she has in-roof panels in some sort of tray and the best of the slates all round the edge. As it's the frontage, it looks really good. A few bonus panels on gables at the rear doing SW & WNW top up. Nice big battery but can't get them out of their hybrid only cars.

Scalable to any size you may realistically need, very robust, two ac inputs so easy to integrate diesel genset, modbus ip coms with fronius inverters for well behaved throttling of solar if battery's full and ac load low. Also high continuous and peak power and the byd battery's are happy at high c rate charge and discharge.

As ever another great video. Some serious budget needed for projects like this. PV Ultra cable. Can it be buried? Reason I ask is that I recently had some extra panels & another battery added to my existing solar system (installed 1 year ago). As part of the new install I was told that the existing SWA cable from the roof panels to the inverter had to be replaced because it was not double insulated (so why was it installed originally?). The old SWA cable was neatly buried under gravel down the side of the house so was nicely out of sight. The new PV Ultra cable is double insulated but I was told it could not be buried so now I have a big black cable running down the side wall of my house 2m above the ground. Not ideal & a bit of an eye saw IMO. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Greetings from Germany and apologies for my bad writing. 3-phase-systems with 3-ühase-backup are very standard in Germany. You cpuldt try Fronius-inverters from Austria. They do single- and 3-phase inverters with a full backup option. SMA inverters from Germany also do single- and 3-phase inverters. Although they don't do a perfect 3-phase backup, Their backup are 3 single-phases. So 3-phase motors won't work. Both companys work with byd batterys from China. A big veriety of storage from 5kWh up to absurd amounts. And the batteries are stackable to have flexibility. Thanks for the videos and all the joy they give to me.

Bifacial panels really work much better when you have light getting into the panel from around the sides. Having it flat like this on the roof will increase production by only a little bit. Also, the cells themselves are bifacial, there aren't 2 cells back-to-back. This is still a great install, and of course if you get only bifacial panels you might get better prices anyway.

There're plenty 3-phase hybrid inverters with full 3-phase backup. Some, like Deye/Sunsynk, even provide 100% unbalanced output with max of 50% of nominal power per phase. For example a 12 kW unit will supply 6 kW to loads on one of the phases and remaining 6 kW can be split between remaining 2 phases.

A note on systems that supply 3 phase - most systems can do 3 phase * (you do get specific 3 phase inverters - eg victron) The way they do it is by using 3 units tied together - each inverter goes onto each phase and they keep each-other in sync. Then by using multiple smaller units - you can get higher available power in total, but while also not maxing the total load of each unit (or the full system) eg - 9KVA system may have a peak of 15KVA for 10s (motors etc) But, if you do 3x 3KVA - still 9KVA, but each inverter can peak to 10KVA, so a total of 30KVA peak ability. So yea, pro/con and overall for space - a single unit is nicer ... the 3x3KVA would be 3x6 total inverters ... so a lot of space This is where singular 3 phase units are nicer, since a 3-phase 3KVA (eg for ref) - x3 for 9KVA - but 9KVA in 3-phase vs 9 total units .... a lot of space saving

Working so far from home and relying on ‘just in time deliveries’ that are outside of your control (imagine if Just Stop Oil blocked the route one day LOL) is not the way to do it. As you transition to the next size of company/operation you need 6P implemented and that starts by making sure you have everything you need in your hands prior to install.

I wish YT creators would stop referring to battery storage systems with islanding capability as Uninterruptible Power Systems (UPS) - they are not. Yes, some of the systems have very fast changeover switching times but if customers have critical devices in their installation, they should also use properly specified UPS to protect these devices. And yes, I realise that _most_ electrical appliances will not be adversely affected by changeover switching times typically quoted for contemporary 'gateway' control systems. Didn't see any reference to an independent measured earth electrode. Is that in your deep-dive vid that is to follow? Maybe the installation already had one?

@@artisanelectrics if the BESS is only operated as a switched alternative source, then it doesn't comply with Reg 21 of the Electricity Safety, Quality and Continuity Regulations if it claims 0mS changeover. If it is operated as a long-term parallel source (as I'm sure this installation is), the Loss-of-Mains protection will be based on Rate-of-Change-of-Frequency, which should be set at 1Hz/s with a 500mS delay to comply with ENA-ER G99. As RoCoF typically requires roughly 6 cycles to actually measure the rate of change (so, about 120mS at 50Hz), the LoM protection would typically take around 600-700mS to respond to a supply interruption, taking into account switchgear operation.

Solar madness first a nice job done only at what cost? 25 kwh inverter big? no i use a 50 Kwh inverter, now this is the only thing i have against solar. the cost of the whole instalation and the ROI, we can take two options the saving with a 20 cents a Kwh cost or with 2 cents, i say this because solar is a 50 year old innovation do you hope and believe this standing still will take a other 50 years if yes you can calculate with 20 cents if no it will be 2 cents. i am sure you will not have a roi with 2 cents, but that is the future!

Great video from Artisan. What a nice project, and I take my hat off to you. I was surprised at one thing here. I'm not a lover of H & S, trust me, but no hand rail on the flat roof for your lads?

Please stop letting your guys carry these panels over their shoulders. The pressure on the glass can and does cause micro cracking. I can share a report on this if you really want to look at this

The wall fixings supplied with most solar gear is absolute crap. Yours is a case in point - why 100mm loose nut bolts?? 50mm would have been sufficient on a bare block wall. Why not just ship with without wall fixings? Its very wasteful. I did an install recently on a stud wall, I ran shallow strut across it to mount everything to. The fixings supplied all went in the bin.
