Arnimean schematics 07.10.23.pdfHi there,
I have a 10kw ground mounted array (4 strings of 6), hooked up to a SmartSolar RS 420/200, 2 x 4.8 Pylontecs and a Multiplus II 48/3000. Everything links up with a Lynx and it’s all managed with a Cerbo GX.
A little background to the build: I had originally built the array in the hope of having 2 x 5kw inverters, exporting to the grid etc, but due to building the array and not being MCS certified my energy provider would not permit a connection (above 3.6kw). I did look at octopus but they couldn’t guarantee a non MCS connection, and it would have cost me around £1000 to try (including the fee to get a G100 - which octopus wanted as a prerequisite).
So I went for a ESS system instead, staying under the 3.6kw threshold.
Everything DC side is hooked up and running independently and correctly.
My main question is actually to do with the ET112 meter and where it’s best placed.
What I want to do is run AC out 1 from the multiplus to power just our main house fuse board (we have a number consumer units powering all sorts - including an annex, pump house, workshop, sauna, etc and obviously the multiplus 3000 is woefully inadequate for any culmination of these). So idea is all loads from the main fuse box are powered by the battery/solar generation and supplemented by the grid when needed, or if no battery or generation, just by the grid.
I will connect the AC in via a 32A breaker from the main switch.
So my question is should the ET112 go between the 32A breaker and AC in?
Any suggestions, or general observations/comments on anything else most welcome!
