avoid odc at all costs - quick search on google / trust pilot confirms the many issue people have had - wish i had read before going with them it has been a nightmare on terms of quality / air tightness and thermal performance - and that before customer services get involved !
Hi All
Just starting to optimise my solar / battery install.
here are the key facts and performance stats
- PV Facing due south
- 10KW system (420w panels / black)
- Optimisers on all panels (some shading to lower section in evenings)
- Max daily production - 20kwh
- Max daily peak production - 5.8kwh
- 20kwh battery
- Eddi solar inverter
would value any thoughts on the performance of the system / ideas on how to improve

Hi All
Just finished levelling floor with Mapei latex self levelling compound
It going to be a while before we get carpet down so need to 'seal' the floor to stop dust etc getting through.
Any ideas how best to do this ?
many thanks

Hi All
I am just about to press the button and order a 10kwh solar set up
The cost of batteries and fancy inverter are making me think that a hot water diverter and simple inverter might be a better investment.
I have been quoted for an ERS mini ( E.R.S Mini 3kW Solar Power Diverter | PowerFlow (powerflowenergy.com) which will connect to the immersion about 2 3rds up the tank
As i am on a 3 phase and the tank immersion is limited to 2kw per phase i am ging forced to buy three of the diverters
Would appreciate any advice

Hi All
Just to add the panels have individual optimisers given the shading around the site.
Scaffold is still up so the cost is ex scaffold.
Many thanks
Bob

HI All
I am just at the point of ordering a solar + battery system.
If possible i would like a 10kw system with battery.
Unfortunately i have about 12 weeks max before the scaffold comes down and am concerned i will not get through the DNO process approval.
Could anyone advise
1) Can i install / commission without DNO approval
2) Any good suppliers for black Mono on standing seam roof ?
Thanks
Bob
Thanks to everyone for their recommendations.
Sound is a major concern
the Wilson Thermal Stream has a noise rating of ''36 dB Noise reduction''
the tredaire king has ''impact noise reduction of 42''
Can i assume the higher the number the better ?
thanks
