December 8, 20187 yr Author Hi Guys, Thanks to one and all, and a special thanks to Plonkster for the earthing advice. The system is up and running at my friends farm and he is over the 🌞 moon. There is still no generator and the system is running only on Solar and batteries. Loads are being gradually added on and the inverters are still on about 25-30% load. We still have not sorted an alarm that buzzes non stop when the Sun goes down and there is no PV power. When the PV disconnect is switched off/on manually the buzzing stops. Any ideas! changed the setting 22 from AON to AOF but this did not help.
