Sanity check please. Battery storage and inverter sizing.
I had one installer essentially wanting to install a tiny 3.6kw hybrid in one quote, the argument being that as I already have a 3.68kw solar ac inverter that the DNO might limit me. But I’m sure these inverters like the pw3 and sigenergi can detect my export and reduce the output, essentially export limiting the house to what ever the DNO allows me to push above the 3.68kw I already have. So 2 installers are saying they would have to submit DNO apps and wait for the result before installing the battery? Seems odd to me.
on that question, I live in a fairly solar heavy road, my neighbour just had a system put in this week, so I’m wondering if I have missed the boat so to speak? As multiple houses now have solar in my lane, about 6 out of 19, does this affect DNO limits and is it a first come first serve situation?
