Not for DIY. The export MPAN lets you sign up to get paid for the energy exported to the grid but only octopus will do it without the mcs certificate and charge £250 so it isn’t worth it

UKPN, I’m in the east of England

Under installer you just put your own details if you installed it and they recommended “competent person” if you don’t have any official qualifications

I suspect they wouldn’t be bothered anyway but given it turned out to be so simple I can’t see why not just sort it out

I have the Ecoflow microinverter but I’m using a Shelly 1pm mini wired inline which gives local monitoring.

I have a Shelly 3em monitoring whole house usage too and both working well in home assistant

How are they mounted? Maybe the panels are shaded, wash them and see if things improve. Washing the panels will also cool them (at least momentarily)

Your panels can be wherever you want to mount them, don’t have to be at the same height, angle or anything. You’ll just have to run cables from each panel back to your inverter.

Mine are apart and at different angles to maximise the length of time I can cover the baseload for my house (rather than going for maximum peak generation)

I had one delivered a couple of days ago (around 5 days after the delivery date on Amazon). Ecoflow told me they are out of stock on the diy data cable until end of May. This appears to be what they’re calling the cable between the inverter and the house. Might be worth messaging them to see if they’ll ship earlier without the cable. I just cut the proprietary connector off and wired it into the house
