Really useful Joth. Yeah I don't plan to store much I just want it to all be legit/legal To clarify it would be the fitter who sends the application in for DNO 98 or 99 and not me?

I'm guessing I'd only be able to see 3.6kw of the PV output tho tops?

So essentially I need the inverter either swapping for a 3.6kwh or it needs switching off until a successful g99 has returned which is likely to be accepted as we can always rate limit the device if the grid isn't upto 5kwh? *But even if it gets swapped I'll need g98

The inverter has its own DC input for the battery (so 2 PV strings plus one battery)

The inverter is g100 approved so does that not help me out at all?

Re shading all I meant is all the panels are in the same place so as a whole the are either in the sun or not It is a hybrid inverter so batteries would be DC coupled? I

Hi All My name's Christian, I'm new here and hoping to pick your brains I've just had a fresh install, 4.5kw of panels with a solis rhi-5k-48es-5g 5kw inverter (with export limit set to 3.6kwh) and I have a few questions I currently have 11 panels over 2 strings. 1) does the fitter need to apply for dno g98 or do I need to do that myself? They told me I'd only get and MCS cert and wont be touching dno as they don't need to (doesn't seem right to me) 2) with the above in mind am I allowed to connect a battery up myself? 3) again with above in mind am I allowed to add another panel myself to either of the strings and not mess up SEG 4) as all the panels are across 2 strings can I combine them all onto 1 (if one is shaded at the moment then they will all be) and setup four new panels pointing east on the now spare inverter DC input? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts Thanks
