Has anyone out there ever had any problems on their annual assessments, from having used mixed makes of CU and breakers when doing CU upgrades?
I know this has been heavily debated and the general sensible consensus is that it should not make the blindest bit off difference, but strictly...
Hi, on our annual pv assesement we had a NC due to the irradiance level when testing the strings being recorded at 58 W/m2, so reasonably dull/overcast i guess but not exactly dark. I never knew that the minimum level has to be 200w/m2, does anyone know where this is documented please?? Our...

Hi chaps. Been working in solar PV for the past couple of years so a bit out of the loop with annual inspections etc. However a guy at the local pub asked if I would be interested in doing an 'annual landlord inspection' for his insurance. He seems to think that in the past sparkies have just...

Had a letter recently saying QUOTE:-
"with regards to your continued enrolment with the approved contractor scam scheme, " we would NOW like to proceed with your periodic assessment visit. "

Hi all, this is my first post on this forum so be gentle :)
I've been asked by the landlord of an HMO to complete an EICR on one of his properties containing 2 x 1 bedroom flats. This is fairly straightforward.
However, he also wants me to provide a certificate for the correct functioning...
on your Second MCS visit
Is this based still around the ONE solar pv job you will take the assessor to later in the day.
IE Quotes/Sap - Contract - Surveys- Wind Cals - Roof Cals based around the single job?????
or
Will the assessor need access to all documents for all jobs you completed...

Had our first annual MCS inspection today. Very different from the first application assessment. Nice guy from the NICEIC and I thank him for raising some points I will post here:
1, It is important to test the properties smoke detectors prior to installations and after commissioning of a PV...
What are your guys views on the assesment. what question do they ask and do you have to show them every invoice youve done?

Any suggestions for what they are asking this year?
I guess the question is in the title! Would anyone care to comment on how these compare. I currently use PVGIS and Sunny Design to estimate annual yield and for the most part for a given slope, azimuth etc their estimated yields seem to be pretty similar. i have seen some quotes from...
Basicly, on the REAL presentation of performance document it says :
A typical ‘x’ kWp PV system generates ‘y’ kWh.
Your system is predicted to produce ‘z’ kWh
is 'x' the size of the customers system (4kwp) & 'y' the tariff (43.3p/kWh)?
and 'z' the yearly power the system produces...
Usual nerves but the guy that assessed us today was brilliant, picked us up on a couple of bits and bobs, minor points, but we had some great conversation. thats it, all over and done with for another year.
