You needed to be in the B+ range after works to qualify.
You only needed a c3 after works
As far as I was aware the house had to end up a C3 or higher to get the grant, so I knew I'd have no issues.
sorry, was a c3+ alright, I was thinking of after our panels went in, doh!
Recently got my solar setup installed by the lads from Enniskillen but been too busy with work to properly spend time understanding it....but hoping to spend more time over next few weeks/months
Its a approx. 4kWh install split 1.36 SE and 2.72 SW on Solis inverter
I've been looking at the info that soliscloud provides and I think I have an issue, screenshot below is as PV1 has 0w as well as that my output seems to have totally dropped off since the day of install even though we've had similar light levels, had approx 3kWhs on day of install (for a half day as inverter came online before midday) haven't hit 1kWH since
I've reached out to them to see what they say.
Anyone any thoughts?
This does not provide us much. Get the graphs for both strings(PV1, PV2) from solis cloud for last 24h.
Thank F.
Was getting worried for a while. It's an old house and was a bad G when we bought it. Have estimated we've it up to a c3 now, with the panels moving it up a notch or two.
Was supposed to have received the new cert back this week but nothing yet.
Think this is what you are referring to
Graph from day of install
Something majourly fooked up there @Scoopsire Your generation is basically saying zero.
It sounds like the same problem that someone else had about two week ago, where we reckoned the negative wires have ended up on the wrong strings. So you possibly have
String A+ and string B- and then string B+ and string A- (instead of A+ and A- and then B+ and B-)
If you disconnect the Negative from one string, does it kill everything ?
Get your Enniskillen installer contacted asap.
Did they even test it properly?
Hopefully it's a quick fix.
Thanks everyone thought as much looking at the graphs but hadnt had time to spend on it since it went in
For the knowledge for others, please come back here and confirm what resolves the issue. You won't be the first and you certainly won't be the last.
Had the installer back today, checked things out and got onto Solis support.
Issue seems to have been a fault with the AC grid terminal, though couldn't be confirmed.
Swapped out for a new one so back up and running.
Thanks for the help
Good to hear you're back in business. Good support from your installer too.
Just keep an eye on the kW output for both strings. But great support from the installer.
Will do
And as you both said great support, really impressed.
Guys has any of you had the tigo optimisers TS4 - A - O fitted to your panels. Going to purchase some. ?
My panels that will be installed are a jinko 350w ntype
Tks 👍
What is your setup of panels ? You may be able to do two lots in parallel and avoid optimizers
I think it's going to be this way.
If that photo is of directly south, then you'd have the SSE on one string and NNW on the other. Why do you think that you need optimizers ?
Champion
Rechecked on google maps. In your opinion just it make any difference on the pic attached. ?
I just assumed chimney shade.. tks
Chimney is to the north of it, so it should be fine. I would however place more panels on the roof facing slightly south (WSW) though. Over the one facing ENE, it would slightly improve your production.
Thats good news about the chimney 'to north '.
SWS that's an extension so roof is pitched differently if that's what you meant.
House pitch is approx 45 degrees and extension 27 degrees.
Appreciate all the feedback , tks 👍

is your friend here. Plug in the orientation and the slope of say 1Kwp and compare across the roofs.
Azimuth sounds confusing, but simply put 0 = facing due south. -90 = facing due east, and 90 = facing due west.
One of my new solar panels is grey whereas all the others around it are the usual black, could the panel be faulty? the are all the same make & model JA solar 345w
Is there a way of checking this without going up on the roof?
If a panel was faulty, then the whole string would be dead I reckon. If it just was shorting through in some way, then your DC voltage should show, based on **v per panel
Maybe a silly a question but have been toying with getting a second pylontech battery to go along with the 2.4kwh one I currently have (there's room for one more in the cabinet). Does it need to be paired with another 2.4kwh for balancing purposes or could I get one of the 3.6kwh ones instead?
It can be used with either a 2.4 or 3.6 pylontech. If using the 3.6 you need to make it the master (top battery)
Got the cert back. Had the house up to a D1 before solar. The panels have pushed it up to a whopping B3.
Delighted with that.
(edit: incorrectly had B1 down)
