System extension

[solarsavings]

I've had a couple of requests for extensions to systems (7KW-9KW) we installed over the last few years. The DNO have given permission but I haven't a clue how to register the extension. I cannot see anything about extensions when submitting a couple on installations this morning. Are they registered as a new installations?

TIA.

MCS Register it as a new system, it's the FiT provider that will pick up it's on the same MPAN, - make sure they don't misband it though, some are known to..

Thanks Gordon.

And make sure you have an EPC dated before you commission.

Thanks Ted. They do have an epc. But..........................................I've done a new install today and the epc, which should have been done earlier in the week is not getting done now until Wednesday. Will that be a problem?

NEW installs the epc has be done before applying for FiT.
Extensions the EPC must be dated NOT Later than the date of commissioning - it can be the same date (who said commission in the morning epc in the afternoon )

 

[TedM]

If they already have an EPC of D or better then there is no problem. For an extension to get the higher rate the EPC must be dated on or before the commissioning date.

good point... got a 52kWp extension going in shortly, that could have been an expensive thing to get wrong.

this sort of thing is a complete farce.
