Electrical task

This is the final stage of the kit builder and is where you specify isolators, cables, meters and any other kit needed in the system. 

In order to complete this task, you will need to have completed the panels and inverter task. Much of this task will be completed for you, with selections made automatically. 

DC Isolators

Choose a DC isolator for each inverter input. 

  • Click on the Current and Voltage sections to view full details. 
  • Use Match all DC isolators... button to bulk edit DC isolators for that inverter.

DC cable and connectors

Specify the length of run and cable cross section of the DC cable to check voltage drop. 

  • Adjust DC cable lengths and size.
  • Use Match all DC cable runs... button to bulk edit cable size and lengths for that inverter.

Solshare

Before navigating to the AC Isolators section, you'll see the option to add a SolShare to the project. If you'd like this included in the project, click SolShare. For guidance on designing a SolShare system, chat to your Midsummer account handler.

SolShare enables multiple flats to be connected to a single PV system. SolShare outputs to up to 15 single phase connections, 5 three-phase connections (or a combination of both). Read more about it here. 

Select which inverters you wish to be paired with SolShare and how many connections the SolShare will be supplying. If the selected inverter is not compatible with Solshare, you will not be able to add one.

AC Isolators

Specify an appropriate AC isolator for each inverter in your project, and check that it has an appropriate current rating.

Meter

In this section, you'll be able to select from compatible generation meters.

If no meters that are supplied by Midsummer are compatible, you will only have the option to select No meter thanks. You can also add a custom meter. 

Extras

Add monitoring, immersion controllers, battery storage and accessories to your project.

Any extras required for components you've already added to the system will be selected automatically. Increase the count of any other extras you'd like included in the project.
