Hi Bob

It depends biggrin

Are the panels all the same specs[ rated PP ?

Are the batteries all paralleled?

Waiting for him to get back to me again. Seems he had the system put in by a workshop and he is unhappy with the system. He is away at the moment, so will wait til I get a bo peep at it and find out what he perceives to be "wrong"
