Thanks for this sytem breakdown. My question is that is a 19.35 array on one (guessing) 11.6 KW inverter. Is there are reason why you wanted to oversize that much? I know the extra energy goes to the batteries but would have it been better to have 2 7.6 kw inverters? Is the owner using an EV's also? Then it makes sense to have array that big. The summer production on that system will be great!
You are probably right. However the app for the drone was having none of it so unfortunately we couldn’t get it off the ground even if we had permission.
Does anyone compare the reaction time/accuracy of these grid-tied systems, bizarrely my very cheap SOFAR inverter seems very good at tracking and matching consumption, while many of the more premium systems seem to have terribly slow reaction times, this really matters if you are time shifting as there's nothing worse than paying for energy you then go pump back onto the grid for free. To me this is the most important performance specification and second to this is the supported APIs for local control (don't trust any of these companies to support their product over 10years) and integration with energy companies dynamic pricing.
Good video Sam... (as usual)... did you manage to get my measurements ? (Second battery on tbe cards for my system) cheers Marc (Newcastle)

You can fly a Done even if it is close to airport, all you need to do is call up control tower and get permission.
