The Grid Cut This £10,000 Solar Install to 4kW
How much could you save with solar? 👉 https://bit.ly/3Ode5Mw Why do some solar installs get approved… and others don’t? In this video, Mike and Jacob walk you through a real UK solar installation where the homeowner wanted a 6kW inverter, but the system was capped at 3.6kW, not by the installer, but by the DNO (Distribution Network Operator). We explain: ✅ What a DNO actually is (and what it isn’t) ✅ Why your postcode determines how much solar you can export ✅ The difference between G98, G99, and G100 ✅ Why two similar houses can get completely different answers ✅ How export limits affect inverter size, batteries, and ROI ✅ Why bigger isn’t always better with solar and storage You’ll also see: ✅ A full 16-panel solar install ✅ Duracell hybrid inverter and battery system ✅ Roof mounting techniques, cabling, flashing kits, and bird netting ✅ Real-world installer insight from the design and install team If you’re thinking about solar, or wondering why an installer has said “that’s not possible”, this video explains exactly why.
