    I believe he's a proponent of AHI.

    I'm firmly rooted in the lead acid camp.

    You are getting to know me! :D

    I'm new to Boards.ie - apologies if this is a basic question!
    But:

    Can anyone help me - I am about to install PV panels - my mains wiring has 2 feeds from the ESB meter. One feed to the house fuseboard and the other feed to a fuseboard in my shed. If I have PV panels, inverter etc. installed on my shed and connect to the shed fuseboard, will that still feed my house supply before dumping power back to the grid? Thanks for any help!

    How big is the solar install, what size is the inverter, what size are the cables, what length are the cables. You can't simply diy connect to the grid so whoever is doing your connection will answer all your questions.

    p.s are you saying you have two sets of tails at the meter box :confused:

    The inverter came with a 13A plug and two MC4.
    The mechanical meter was renewed....turned out to be faulty..whistling.gif
