I have recently one a place on a local authority framework for PV installation which was based on domestic properties. The council now has come up with schemes for the schools and council depots ranging from 20 to 50 kw systems. I have completed about 150 domestic installs and understand the G83...
Hi - is there someone who could kindly just summarise where we are with new installs from Jan to after April please in a concise format ie. what rate they will start on and continue with after certain dates and what other processes have to be undertaken such as an EPC
1. Solar PV fitted...
Thought I'd post this up here to show that there are obviously many companies that still believe in the UK solar market. The growth of new PV installers isn't as fast as the end of last year but it's still growing at a fair old rate.
I was speaking to a PV installer in our wholesalers earlier today who claimed that as much as 75% of all the installs carried out in April were done by rent-a-roof firms. I asked him how he knew this and he told me that he had been told by someone at MCS. I don't know how true this is but if...
on 1 plot do you think it will pass as 60 seperate 50kw installs and the owner recieve 15p tarif.
thought i should mention land is classed as farm grazing
I didn't want to post this on the main forum as it doesn't really help consumer confidence.
Apparently there were only 579 installs done last week of a <4kWp size. Even more shocking is the >4kWp figure........... 1!
Depressing stuff.
Hello,
We are a solar PV installation team, consisting of 2 solar PV roofers and an electrician with a lot of solar panel installation experience. We have been installing two jobs a day for the last year with all different systems and with different types of roofs. We are quick, neat and work...
Hi,
Please take a look at these images..
Could any of you experienced PV Installers out there give me any idea on the scale (capacity) of the roof installs shown?
(I'm a certified Sparks - my business profile states my intention to do more to be eco-friendly.. I'd like to know more about how...
A while ago I had a spreadsheet which showed every MCS installation in the UK and who did it, where is that damned thing, I'd like to see how I compare to my local competitors but I can't find it.
Hi
Well guys wondering if you could help me, I went to price a loft conversion job yesterday where the guy is converting his loft into a bedroom and bathroom. I was probably going to run a new ring main for the sockets and a new lighting circuit for the lights which there is space for in the...
The latest data from MCS released by DECC www.decc.gov.uk/assets/decc/11/stats/energy/energy-source/3803-weekly-solar-pv-installation-and-capacity-.xls shows that there is now 1GW of small-scale PV installed with an extra 245MW added since the December deadline.
The peak to beat the 2nd March...
I've asked for clarification from my local DNO on this as I cant seem to find any info, other than this.....below

As anyone been randomly contacted by a foreign sounding guy over the past week regarding doing some pv installs on behalf of charity's? We got a call Monday from this guy in question saying that he as 2000 installs across the country and is recruiting teams. For a £200 up front fee (which is...
Hi everyone,
I have noticed the number of PV roofs has mushrooomed in the last 2 months - but most are 14 panels or less, I have even seen 6 panels - is that worth bothering with?
Also on some of 11 to 13 panels there is clearly space for 2 or 3 more - what's that about?
Announcement made on REAL site by DECC confirming that t 21p is guaranteed for fits up to 31st March.

At last some information we can use to start selling again.
I am currently looking at going down the solar pv road and looking for the most cost effective but detailed course to be able to install from scratch.
If anyone can give my a heads up on one thats worth spending the money on and the cost and duration of the course.
Also I could do with it...
As I drive about I cant help but notice a lot of installs that have been done over the last few months are looking nothing nothing short of dangerous!
Arrays are being positioned above the ridge line and right up to the edge of the roof. I saw one that was so badly done I had to mention it to...
Well I have had my PV system in for a few months now and all seems to be working okay after my problems with the electricians installation, however maybe someone can answer a question I have now, having bathrooms refitted and trying to avoid the bonding cables by fitting an RCCB rather than...
