16.03.16: Start of photovoltaic assembly

Exactly - those are the points I am curious about.

Change the meter. Install a new meter.

hello toxicmolotow
I completed connecting my system 4.5 KW on 12/23/2010 and registered it with ENBW. It was connected on 3/12/2011 I hope it goes faster for you

Regards Frank

I hope and wish that too. A new meter still needs to be installed and I still have to do all the registration stuff.

Thanks and best regards
Thorsten

I hope and wish for that as well. A new meter still has to be installed, and I still have to take care of all this registration stuff.

So you don’t have an electronic bidirectional meter installed directly? Then it can of course take a while.
During the construction phase, we submitted the applications (or rather, the installation company did). Then it took two days until the system was mounted and connected (the connection to the grid was also done by the installation company).
We only had to report the system to the Federal Network Agency.
The advantage was that commissioning was possible immediately after installation (we couldn’t even live in the house yet). You only get the feed-in tariff rate once the system is commissioned – if it takes longer, the tariff will melt away even further...

So you didn’t have an electronic 2-way meter installed directly? Then it can of course take some time.

Hi,

No – when I built the house in 2014, photovoltaics was not even on my mind. The great idea came to me only later. Smile. So there is still a simple run-of-the-mill one-way meter in the utility room.

Tomorrow the collectors will be mounted and the string installation finalized.

On Monday the electrician will come and install the inverter/battery and such.

I just made a few calls (because of your really valuable suggestion/note). The installation of the new meter will happen fairly soon, possibly even on Monday or very shortly after.

Then I still have to register the system with the NA.....

I’m thinking I’ll have the system running by mid-April.

The system is made and dimensioned so that the feed-in tariff plays no significant role. It’s not about large sums anyway.
Due to a delay in the system installation, for which I am not responsible, I am also receiving a credit. It is so well calculated that I can easily more than compensate losses due to a lower tariff. Also, the photovoltaics are not for cost saving, but merely satisfy my highly developed playful instinct and somewhat soothe my environmental conscience.

Kind regards
Thorsten

With me, the applications had to be submitted separately (don’t even remember why,...) -> therefore waiting for the meter installation. I don’t have the 70% regulation, but the shutdown by the network operator via radio -> this had to be sealed afterwards by the network operator.

Hi Wastl, we have a 70% regulation. Best regards, Thorsten

What kind of backward behavior is this? Here, the approved installer brings the appropriate two-way meter from the network operator directly and replaces it on the same day. I am shocked.
