    Solar PV panes and power cuts

    Hi I can understand that, during a power cut, an inverter connected to a PV array needs to shut down to prevent maintenance workers on the grid but I don't see why the inverter cannot still continue to provide domestic power.

    Solar Edge, Micro Inverters, Leap of Faith?

    We have been looking at a job with considerable shading on what would be the main location of panels. It is a big late Victorian Semi where we can probably get ten panels on one side and a further 6 on the flat roof above. Nearly all the shading comes from a chimney stack located on the outside...

    I wonder if anyone has used any pure sine wave inverters - or even knows of any that are G83 certified? I have a potential customer that is keen on one if such a thing exists.
