rolion wrote: » Ok, thanks. One thing that I "understood" from the video...they are designing the battery system so that it will recharging cycle once or twice over a 24 hours period. Then, given the battery warranty of 10 years and 10,000 cycles...I wonder will they know via remote monitoring that the owner has "exceeded" these parameters or constraints, therefore having a valid reason to "invalidate" warranty !???

Any thoughts on this system ?

My system was 14 panels (4.2kwp) 5kw inverter 5kwh hybrid battery Eddi hot water diverter Essential load wiring Ber assessment. Monitoring etc included, and should be as standard. So your price is double mine for the same system

I got an email yesterday stating that you can now claim the subsidy: "You previously registered on our website that you may be installing a Solar PV system. I am pleased to advise that our Solar PV claims portal is now open for payment requests. "
wexfordman2 wrote: » Hi unkel, Yep, I've gone ahead. They installed the panels about two weeks ago, but waiting on the install of the inverters etc still. They have said that they are awaiting a checklist from seai before doing the electrical install. I might give seai a ring in Monday and ask them what the story is I got the same email you got

BrendanD wrote: » Just on this is there any problem splitting the panels , was thinking 50% on my roof and another 6 or 7 on the office at the end of the garden ? There’s a recent case in Limerick where a woman was refused planning permission to retain solar panels and ended up removing some

wexfordman2 wrote: » Yep, here is photo of the panels on the roof That's all that's done so far BTW I went for a 6kwp solar (18 panels) with 5kwh hybrid battery, 5kw inverter and eddi. The price for that was 12k inc vat before grant, so cost to me was 8k (I paid an extra 1k for the additional 2kwp) based on unkel egging me on to bargain a bit more out if them :-)

I don't think that the last point is a big deal as once the contractor is tax compliant and uses properly qualified labour then there shouldn't be an issue getting on to the list. Your array looks fantastic BTW
