    New Build vs Retrofit

    I've been asked to quote for PV on a friends new house... being built at the moment. Is there an event or time that dictates when this can be fitted as 'retro'. I'd imagine once the house had passed final building regs or had become inhabited but can't find anything hard and fast. Any ideas?
