It’ll soon be 24 hours since the battery and solar went live here and today’s been a nice sunny day to give it a good test. Already the battery is full for later, the house doesn’t want much power and the panels, whilst not at their 4.050kW peak are already producing a nice 3.61kW which (with nowhere else to go) is gett8ng sent out to the grid. That’s actually frustrating because the facility to be paid for that export hasn’t been set up yet by the delivery network operator. Still, a good start.
@christineburns it can take a month or so to start getting paid for the export. One of the pain points about getting solar initially.
@smsm1 I know! On an optimistic note, however, the heat pump configuration and solar/battery design were both approved by the DNO in just over a day. It’ll depend on how quickly the installers complete the submission.
@christineburns there is also the energy provider too once the DNO have sent the confirmation. With checking out which documents you need for that so that you are prepared.
@smsm1 I discussed it with my Octopus project manager before the install and he’s raring to go and put the MPAN in their system
