HI. We checked with AGL prior to installation and were advised no changes needed due to replacing an existing system. Final PV splitting had made system workable and we hope it remains so. Thanks for enquiring.

Re: Not AGL solar and battery installed! Who to contact about reporting substandard and faulty?

Thanks for the ideas and info Lester. We have learnt a great deal quickly! Maybe not quick enough and knowing enough before purchasing! Hindsight is a wonderful thing. I can now repeat details off by heart is a bonus? Should have got an AGL system! I am sure there would be more truth there. After restringing. The Hinen is a single phase 10kw max rated PV, in a 5kw inverter now has 7.5kw max pv in two strings. It has a Hinen battery 20kw and that pair are working well. House overnight is dra ...

thanks. I appreciate the reply. (Not a Lester from Langhorne creek? Probably not.) On the number of inverters, we originally were quoted on two 5 kw hybrid inverters same brand, model etc, then it was changed to two different brands models because thats the way the engineer does it! These are now on three different PV strings but common connection up to the 240V. 1 has no batteries and 1 does. There is no data or other connection between them.

Not AGL solar and battery installed! Who to contact about reporting substandard and faulty?

Hi. New solar system promoted by the local council with fanfare was installed at high cost. Failed after 5 days of below 50% operation. Contractor turned it off for 1 month. Then they rewired PV into more strings, still below an average operation due to differing brands of 2 x 5Kw hybrid inverters i believe. This is a joke like the wild uncontrolled west! Where can I report this to?
