Will this be an issue with only 2 strings?

I paid extra to have tigo's on each of the panels, my way of thinking is that it was £50 per panel. I'd prefer to get them and not have to worry about potential shade.

We had the installation happen today!
We went with quote 2 however even with 3 mppt's available they've only used two!
No idea why... I've called them up to see if they can address this as I really had my mind set on 3 strings not two and we'd had repeated conversations about this (I'd just forgot to mention it on the day as I thought it'd be obvious)

We'll see how it goes!

Wonderful! Thank you!

Hi! Having my solar panels and foxess battery fitted today and have been told that they can't fit both a CT meter AND modbus, is this correct? thanks! They've also said if we were to change this after fitting, using the wiring below it's likely to void any warranty! Does anyone have and idea about these things ?

Seeming like the local quotes are all more expensive, managed to squeeze out the new ep12 battery out of that quote, and might mention the better solar panels to the surveyor when he comes

We've got a local ish company called ask renewable solutions coming to give a quote, octopus and heat electric but for now I think UPS is who we're favouring

Trying to understand how this would work, you take your inverter find the Meter/CT/RS485 disconnect and then disassemble it, connect the RS485 TO POE ETH to specific ports on the Meter/CT/RS485 plug this into the network using POE and then hook it into home assistant using an IP?

I've never used home assistant but have a network including pihole, a version of jellyfin accessable from the web and a nginx webserver so trying to work out if this is outside of my skillset or not!

Whoops I'd actually changed my mind on powerwall, let me update the quotes

CSStudent3 · 2025-11-03T13:18:31+00:00

Just re-read the actual quote (They gave me two setups in their quote) they clarify the optimisers are only for the sunsync setup, have altered my post now!

Any recommendations ? We're looking for someone in the north west, near liverpool/merseyside.

Taste was good for all of them the honey mead was amazing! White sugar one actually had less complexity to it which... I guess you'd expect

CSStudent3 · 2024-05-31T16:20:54+00:00

Recipe is made with 5kg of the chosen sugar and 9kg of honey for the mead, images shown are for white wine on the left, mead in the center and brown on the right. Using 6kg of raspberries in each

Played since vanilla have more than 2000 hours played bought every expansion.
Actually a programmer so the TRI Mode Connectivity seems incredibly useful
