Hi all
I am looking for ideas for best practice for Earthing Conductors to a dual tariff CU. Should two 16mm Earthing Conductors from the MET be installed, one to each earthing busbar? Or one earthing conductor to one of the earthing busbars and a link of 16mm to the 2nd earthing busbar...
Just wanted to check what others understanding / experiences are with extending an existing system: Customer has a 3kW system on the old 43p and wants to add another 4kW to it (DNO all sorted). Am I correct in saying that the existing system stays on the original 43p tariff and the extended part...
After a bit of digging I managed to find a table on DECC's website that was released last Wednesday that confirms that there will actually not be any solar PV Feed-In Tariff reductions in October, and that the current rates will apply until at least 31st December 2013.
DECC have based their...
Hi all, apologies for not contributing recently. I have to qualify this by saying that this is more of a thought exercise as I'm having a few issues trying to visualise what is in effect, but I'll start with a question.
A friend of mine is on an E7 tariff w/ the supply to the FCU's feeding the...
Hi
We did a project in December 2012 and the customer got the 15.44 pence rate. He is with Scottish power and has a contract dated January 2013 and has had payments without problem.
Scottish Power are telling him that his FIT rate was NOT increased on the 1st of April 2013 with index...
I'm still in the office having now done a 6 hour evening shift int he office following an 8 our stint on site installing today, all because the EU announcement has now started to majorly bugger up the supply chain even for the none chinese panels - ie the panels we've been quoting on for the...
Dear Mr Sedgy34,
Thank you for your generation reading of 32,560 which you provided on 12/02/2013. Unfortunately the reading you have provided is much higher than we would have expected based on your previous readings and the size of your system. Please can you recheck your generation reading...
Hi

My question is can I change the existing panels for Sanyo - I was told this would...

If TedM's around hopefully he can interpret what it means!
Para's 1.12 to 1.16 are the key, - though in my books it still hasn't clarifed what a 4kWp system could be ...... yet ... hopefully they...
Had a customer comment that he is thinking of upgrading to a MW (out of my league) and he has a national involved.
Now he is being told that it is better to have a 200KW and a seperate 800KW.
The 200KW gets added to the 50KW system he already had installed during the pre-DEC 2011 rush, and he...
Has anyone got any updates or news about the compensation claims regarding the unlawful feed in tariff reductions as it seems to have gone very quiet.

I'm starting to think a PV system just isn't worth investing in for my roof, considering only 9 panels and the roof faces just 18 degrees south of due west.
Another factor seems to be how much of the electricity generated could be used, rather than sold. I'm thinking of it all ways round, but I...
Hello Chaps... I've made it to the lounge !
Which the rate of electricity saved for the SAP calculations are you using ? I currently use 14.4p which I have being using for over a year now, however with the price increases what rates are you guys using ?
The 10% price increases one might...

Hi, im after some clarification on the tariffs for a second array please. Basically there is a 16kWp array istalled on a college early last year, the college now want a second 30kWp array on the same building, what tariff rate would they expect to recieve for the second array? Also wondered if...
The current tariff and paybacks are as good as they were when we started out but the jobs are not there in the qunatity they were in the same conditions. This is a natural response to the turmoil we have been through for the last 12 months, the way I see it is domestic PV is effectively starting...
