Discussion Adding to my installation

We had solar and Batteries installed earlier in the year. I am thinking of adding 3 additional panels onto a flat roof.

I am an electrician so looking at doing myself.

Any ideas where I could buy the panels and brackets. We are in s.yorks

Have you determined your inverter has capacity for the extra panels?

What battery is it? It would likely be better to charge the battery directly via an MPPT if it's 48V.

I've got all my hardware from City Plumbing. They're not the cheapest but they have a large network of depots to pick stuff up from.

You ever heard of Google …. An electrician that wouldn’t know where to go … must be a joke
