Given there’s a bit of 1st come served, limited local line capacity etc - is there any preferred approach to dealing with the DNO (in my case UKPN) for G99 applications?

I want max local inverter capacity. I understand the max on 1P is 17kW (I don’t know where the logic for that number comes from). Ideally I would have 24kW. This is inverter capacity - I’m happy to take whatever export limit the DNO decides.

Seems a bit of a nonsense that because the DNO don’t trust the inverter manufacturers not to f…k up and dump a load of power on the local grid that the DNO wants to limit inverter size rather than export size. A small inverter could probably still screw up and push the local export voltage over the official limits just as well as a large one.

So the question is: what do I ask for? 17? 12? Something else?

Phone them say you want huge see how they respond, then you can come down if you need to.
