    That would ring alarm bells in my head.
    If the company doesn't know the inverters they are installing. 

    Any modern hybrid (solar and batteries) would be able to grid charge.

    Hiya. Silly question as I know nowt about batteries, but can a DC side battery system charge from the grid, instead of just DC - DC from the PV when there is export excess?
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.

    Good question Martyn. I dont think so, as you would imagine the inverter wouldn't be set for the reverse invertion,  the dc-dc systems like the growatt sp2000 are there to "fool" the inverter that it has no batteries.

    Happy to be proven wrong by someone who actually knows though.

    i'm in the process of buying  house that has leased solar panels, but they werent registered with Land Registry when installed (owner has since passed away), it is now up to Anesco to register them, which they did on 11th march 2020, but we are still waiting, even though the solicitors on both partys are working from home, and Land Resgistry is working as normal, I have contacted the vendor, who have been informed by thier solicitor that Land Registry 'keep sending the application back to Anesco' implying that the application is incorrect. why cant the house be sold then sort out the registration? We've had to extend our morgage offer as its taking so long and it looks like this wont be resolved before the morgage offer expires!! what can I do?
