It will be interesting to know if there's any follow up. A year / 18 months back we had a bit of a scare when I thought that PEA had seen our meter going backwards (the food-shed next door got a shiny new digital meter on the same pole as our antique spinning-disc device). I set our system to not export at all for a couple of months. Nothing happened. We now have enough storage and generation to be grid independent so no export is permanently enabled. On or about the same day Madam was accosted by a person outside our gate who suggested that our meter was "very old" and we should get a new one. My lady being a smart cookie said she was just the maid and they would need to speak to the owner who was at work. They never came back.

I've added that list to my pinned thread.

Yeah, we used to live in Box (of Brunel's Box Tunnel fame) just up the A4, I got my BSc at the University of Bath. We swilled a LOT of that "warm" ale in the Quarryman's Arms on top of Box Hill (still trading).

It should have been "cellar temperature" 10-13oC (50 to 55oF), not exactly warm but definitely not having its nads frozen off.

AFTER work?? Friday lunchtime down in the Albion Inn (the old Verwood station) with the MD! (this would have been the late 80's mind) Two or three pints of something from Ringwood brewery and a pasty-n-chips then back to the office. By far the best code was written on Friday afternoons, not that anyone actually remembered who wrote it or how it actually worked

Yeah, same version. Not worried (yet) whether it's the latest and greatest.

Both powered up OK, no smoke of any colour observed 🙂

It's been noticed that some inverters which were previously on the list have "vanished". One would assume (bad idea I know) that these inverters would be grandfathered in. If anyone has earlier lists, please feel free to post here. Here's one of the earlier lists for reference. PEA Inverter list 6-2565.pdf

Electronic engineers only!

Would that be "number-two faced" perchance? 🙂

Long ago my parents ran a small minibus / coach hire company. Of course, hen parties were a staple. One young driver returned at 2AM ish having delivered the "hens" (in this case they were older ladies, more like "old-boilers" than spring chickens) home after their night out. He stated he'd barely escaped with his life after several of the "ladies" had decided that he would look much better without his trousers!

You mean that's not a "Just Stop Oil" protest??

Yeah, I noticed a few models that vanished. One must (sorry) assume that they are grandfathered for existing installations. Do you have a copy of the old list where they were included?

An off-topic post has been removed.

... and include how it is actually wired up please 🙂

Combine ribald humour with peculiar sentence construction and a genuinely horrifying drinking culture, and what do you get? A dictionary’s worth of ‘drunkonyms’ Name: Drunkonyms. Age: As old as alcohol itself. Quantity: 546. I’m not entirely sure I know what a drunkonym is. Let me help you out. The Sámi people of northern Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia are said to have more than 300 words for snow. For example, “Åppås” means untouched winter snow, “Säásj” refers to old snow that has become loose and coarse and “Tsievve” is snow that has become so hard that not even reindeer can dig through it. This is fascinating, but what’s your point? My point is that, just as the Sámi have hundreds of words for snow, British people have hundreds of words for “drunk”. Five-hundred and forty-six, in fact. This sounds like an exaggeration. Fine, I’ll list them. Pissed. Sloshed. Stewed. Wrecked. Hammered. Bladdered. Plastered. Mullered. Pickled. Bevvied. Rubbered. Tanked. Cock-eyed. Zombied. Blootered. Trolleyed. Rat-arsed. … Read More https://www.theguardian.com/food/2024/feb/20/sloshed-plastered-and-gazeboed-why-britons-have-546-words-for-drunkenness Important Note: - The image is not me 7360.avif

I suspect that the halcyon days of unofficial net-metering (spinning a disc meter backwards when exporting energy) are coming to an end, it was good whilst it lasted. As to why PEA are asking now to "register" solar, they likely want to ensure that what's installed is at least reasonably safe for their linemen (i.e. proper grid-tie inverters with anti-islanding). @manolothai did they actually do any "inspecting", are you using inverters that are on the PEA approved list? 04 Inverter List Update 2024-05-08 (1).pdf

Of course, if the switch is off and correctly wired then there shouldn't be a hazard. Ah ...

"Line-guard"? Possibly surge protection? Could you scan and post what documentation you have? EDIT Lord only knows: -

Gonna power them up tomorrow to verify they are the same S/W version. Manufacturing data suggests they will be but ...
