Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah crying in his yard - but no boat,

In recent weeks I have been exploring (and continually bumping into dead-ends) the possibility of adding additional PV to my property (I already have 3.75kWp with 3.6kW/16A-restricted Aurora inverter).
I happened to get an out-of-the-blue phone call today from a solar company who were one of...
I have one on site job which is permanently on going but I also have to go and do other smaller jobs and take most of my kit out on them and then back again.It seems like the only way is to make up a second kit of the usual tools and drills to keep in the van.I just wondered what others do?
I already have 3.75kWp (45.4p FiT).

An identical property to mine, but without PV, had a recent EPC of E (only acouple of points...

Hello chaps,
With the advent of amendment 1 and Surge Protection playing a big part now I need a second opinion on a job I'm quoting for at the moment. I'll admit my experience with these devices is zero apart from the usual Type 3's that are common place now in homes.
