    1,2, testing

    So changing a consumer unit is classed as an alteration. But if also adding sockets and downlights this is an addition. So on the EIC do I tick both addition and alteration?

    Addition of PV Panels but not official

    Evening guys, this is just a question really that was thrown up in a conversation and therefore it isn't something to put in to practise. It's also worth noting that I'm not in the solar industry. My friend has a 4kw system but was talking about installing his own panels on another roof...
