I'd say on a self install, it's totally worth the cost of the diverter. My whole system works out less then 11k, all self installed. 17k MCS would maybe come close to my system, but that's an extra 6k for 2 days work and a piece of paper. I use Home Assistant to manage most things at the moment so I will install a diverter and then divert the rest to the pool heater. Consumption is not my problem it's production and cheap rates lol

I'm not really interested in export anyway to be honest, I just thought it would make my life easier in the future if things change and I have a higher export ability. I might just install and go with the G98 and limit my inverter to the 16amp, in total honesty I'd probably set the inverter not to export anything as I have a 300l tank to heat and then a 75kW car battery to fill before I let them have any of it. Thanks for your help and I'll keep an eye on that post about the DNO connection charges. Cheers

They want the figure with a photo of the test taking place. It's on page 2 of the document I posted on post 1.

That's what I was worried about, the 0.18 ohmes seemed like a very very low target. I doubt I'll get anywhere near that, but I'll have a go. Otherwise it will have to be limited export I guess. I haven't even checked where the substation is, I was trying to see if I could rent a Loop tester just to save me the hassle as I can imagine its a very easy test to do from some videos I've watched. I'll try and call the electrician and see if he'll do it on his way home. Thanks for the reply ProDave

Interesting Nick, but for me price is key. The whole system is subsidised from my Solar install in Greece, so replacement wouldn't be a problem. I can charge way over 20kW of battery within my 6 hr window overnight, plus the solar during the day...I want to have the maximum amount of battery storgage I can, as I use over 40kW per day without even charging the car. Others who use Pylontech batteries say they are ok for the years theyve used them. Every person I follow with big systems installed at home say if they could change anything it's to add more battery storage for the winter. Cheers.

Thanks Jenki

Hi, This is my first post on here and hopefully you guys will go easy on me. I have installed 6.4kW solar on my roof and plan to add a Solis 6kW RHI 5G hybrid inverter with 4 Pylontech US5000 4.8kWh batteries. I've messaged back and forth with my DNO (SSE) and they have told me that I can either limit it to 3.68kW and install my system and then notify them via SG-1 and hand in an A3-3 form once connected. Or they could grant me 7.36kW export under SG-3 fast track application in my area. What they need is a Phase to Neutral Impedance Loop test. I've looked up this test online and not much is available on how it's done. From what I've gathered its testing the Line and Neutral loop impedance before my consumer unit (Their side of the equipment). They are looking for a figure of 180 mOhmes maximum. Has anyone actually done this or know how it's done? I've added the form below and the relevant section is just page 2. Looking forward to your responses. Thanks FO-NET-CAB-008-Loop Impedance.docx
