Does anyone have a copy of an exemption cert that has been granted FIT please that you can email me? Blank out contact details etc. My EPC assessor has not done one before and just wants to make sure that he has but the right amount of detail in.
That is what I was planning as that is how i interpret the Ofgem guide - point 2.82. Thought I would check with BG who have now sent me an email saying that the whole building should be assessed and a link to a document from 2008 which does not refer to FIT or Solar!! Spoke to 2 people now...
Has anyone had any issue with EPCs exemptions recently?
Having a phone battle with BG about a 4kw install on a block of flats where the array is only feeding into the communal supply where there is no heating or cooling. BG are telling me it needs a commercial EPC, but Ofgem may let it go with...
Thanks Gavin - If push comes to shove then i'll give Romag a try but trying to convince the client that a more standard sized panel would be better for future proofing should a replacement be required.
990mm is a breeze, it's the 1320mm that's the issue!
Looking for panels 1320mm x 990mm. Wattage not important at this stage, it's on a job we are pricing for a new build. Size is specified, space looks limited from the plans. I think an architect looked at the space available and assumed panels come in any size you want!
I have found some 190w...
We always get it done before, unless the homeowner already has an EPC. The assessor doesn't lodge the case if it has not met a D, if PV will push it into the D bracket, he revisits after the installation to fulfill his requirements for his accrediting body and then lodges. It costs a little more...
How have I worked it out...?
The aerial is about 1 ft from the bottom of the array and the top of the aerial is at a 45 degrees from the bottom of the array.
I have plotted a line from the bottom of the chart to the 45 degrees line and then drawn a circle to see which areas the path of shading...
I have also had a conversation from a prospective client about Sunpower, never heard about them until a few weeks ago, now they keep cropping up!
Shame they can't sort out a better distribution route!
I've been testing it out on a couple of projects and would appreciate a sense check by someone on a calculation for an aerial.
4kWp
Location 11
pitch - 40 d
Azu - 40 d
Angle above horizon 45 d
Aerial Sited at 20 d west of South
= 4 (kWp) x 849 (Kk) x 0.69 (SF) = 2343kWh
Is this right??
I second Ian's price points. It depends on how many panels you have, their quality and what inverter you use. £3k for 1kW (4 panels) up to 16 panels for a typical house.
If you have financing for the house, then see if you can extend it whilst rates are low and get a system up now. The FIT...
Has anyone got any spare Sunclix DC connectors they don't need for an SMA.
Got an SMA 3000TL 20 to install but somehow the connectors have gone missing (it has been knocking around the storeroom for ages!).
