    Daft question but there isn't already one on the inverter is there? I didn't have the EPS wired up when I had the inverter installed but the plug was still there on the socket.

  • Thanks so if I put a 16 amp breaker on the eps line that should protect the inverter?

    I'm not a qualified electrician but that's what I've done, would recommend getting someone qualified to confirm that though!

  • 10 months in and I've generated just over 4mWh of PV, from 4.5kWp of panels. Not sure if that's poor / ok / good but it's certainly kept the bills down!
    I have noticed that I get +1kWH spikes when I was out of the country for 3 weeks. I'm guessing that it's the fridge compressor so that's next on my hit list of replacement items.
    I'm going to try and aim for zero next year while I'm away :smiley:

    to give you an idea, my 6kw system has produced 6.59MWh of electric this year - its south facing, no shading with a tilt of approx 35deg on the roof. its been installed since Dec 2016, situated in the north east of england. it all depends on your system set up, size of inverter (ie do you clip your solar production due to a smaller inverter?) etc

    the monitoring system certainly allows you to track down those power hungry appliances ! I used mine to track down the satellite internet system our son uses and the fact that the anti icing heater was always on (120w of heat into the atmosphere!).  
    6kwp solar (23x265w sharp) south facing, Solaredge 6kw inverter installed Dec 2016. 2xLux 3.6kw ACS paralleled with 10x Easyway UNIV5200's 5.2kWh- installed March 2025. 1xLux 3.6kw hybrid with 3.15kwp solar south/south-west with 5x Easyway UNIV5200's installed March 2025.
