If your current panels are two rows of eight, in portrait orientation, each row is 7216mm long.If you were to replace them with 440s in the same orientation, you'd fit six into the same space (6.3 but you can't get 0?3 of a panel).12 x 440 is 5280, which is only a 10% increase on your current 4800.(I don't know your roof layout and you might be correct that you could fit 15 up there.)N.

I was just after the max spot power for each string eg 2150w say. This would then give a rough idea of how much clipping you'd get increasing panel size. If it was 2150, that's 89.6% of installed capacity so max with 8 440w (exc bi facial production) would be 3150, so little or no clipping as long as you can manage your battery capacity to take the solar + 3400w AC export, then you can export batteries later in day.....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.

Wondering if anyone has or knows someone who has managed to get the Uhome App data into home assistant? If it is appearing on the App it is clearly being transmitted. I can also get it by plugging in the BUS??? that was sent to do an upgrade of firmware but I just don't have the intelligence to write any programs.5KW solar, Lux 3.8KW inverter, Uhome 2400 LPF x 6, SOLIC 200 immerser diverter, Leaf 62Kwh, Skoda Enyaq 85, Ohme home charger, Zappi v2.1, Eddi, Import: Octopus intelligent ; Export: Octopus Energy Export, 15KW biomass pellet boiler - Windhager., Home Assistant0
