    End of FITs in April 2019, end of MCS?

    Good riddance to MCS... They may not be going anywhere but I am. Most of my work is now in Solar Farms and in December I made the decision to finish installing for good. I just logged on to the MCS database to register what will be my penultimate system ever and found that they've decided to...

    Samil Warranty over 2 months wait for a replacement.

    Yes CE marked but there was always a risk of this. They were supplied by the UK's biggest PV wholesaler and a few others at the time but they pulled out of the UK market in 2016 after the big tariff cut.

    Samil Warranty over 2 months wait for a replacement.

    Anyone else going through this? I had a warranty claim (finally) accepted mid December but still no sign of a replacement. UK agent has been waiting for stock for months and there's a big list ahead of us. Poor service. Edit: At what point are they in breach of their UK/EU warranty...

    Any ideas?

    I've had old style SMA inverters replaced on this error message. They like to blame everything else before admitting fault though.

    Slate mountings for retrofit

    Interesting, I've done a few GSE on new builds now and i agree. My worry with Retrofit is finding the felt in poor condition and having to re-roof the whole thing. Do you strip the whole roof and re-felt or just the area under the array?

    New Builds and EPC's ... ...

    I spoke to one of my DEA's yesterday who said that if the array is visible it has to be included in the EPC even if the system is not connected. It apparently can be put in as disconnected??? Does it matter if the PV is included or not if that the date on the MCS cert is after the EPC? Clearly...

    Slate mountings for retrofit

    Just wondering what everyone is using for slate these days? I've not had the joy of a retrofit slate install for over a year and with a van free of the old kit i'd like to re-asses my options. I went from Schletter to Limpets a couple of years back after a complete disaster with galv nails and...

    New Builds and EPC's ... ...

    Thank you for this, i've got a couple of new builds on the go atm also. Is it still the case that off plan EPC's are not able to be used in a FIT application?

    Thanks Whinmoor, interesting... on another note how are you finding the iBoost with the battery? Do they work ok together? e

    Voltage Optimisation - again

    I think a some of you were trialing VO at some stage, is that right? I've always been dubious of its benefits for domestic but I've just been sent a Project Solar quote showing over £7k in savings from VO over the Fit lifetime. Lots of other things in the quote that i know are exaggerated so...

    HV AP + SAP Training

    Hi DAvid, I have a lot of WPD guys on site that pointed me in that direction but their training center is apparently so busy with their own guys now they have a never ending waiting list. e

    Thanks guys, that's been very helpful, one of the above does courses in Swindon which is a lot nearer to me.

    HV AP + SAP Training

    Looking at doing an AP course as i'm keen to get into the O&M side of MW scale solar, I'm after some advice from people in the HV industry. There are a couple of City & Guilds accredited courses around but do they make you employable? Has anyone done one or put staff through one? If you are...

    New builds

    Thanks Worcester. If the pv is required by building control is it able to get the higher tariff at all? I had assumed that the epc would be done after the commissioning... E

    New builds

    Thanks Gavin and you are right SS, Recc is not relevant but as I've not done much for contractors the template has remained the same.

    New builds

    HI all, With the changes recently to building control i'm being asked more often to quote for new builds, both for builders/electrical contractors as well as private homeowners. I've found that i get in pretty early to get the roof side done but have to wait months to get in and get it wired...

    PV Systems require more maintenance than other circuits?

    I have been doing quite a lot of service and maintenance work over the last 12 months and have observed a large amount of loose/slack terminations on the AC side of PV systems. I had originally put this down to inexperienced installers rushing to hit deadlines as so many of the installs seem...
