Solar panels

Nadiq38

I'm my late mum's executor, n am in process of selling her house. The house has solar panels, put up by my late brother, without it seems, my mum's authorisation, as required by 6.19 of the FIT supplier guidance V13. The energy company won't even acknowledge the name of my mum, n the energy ombudsman has said as I'm not a customer they can't/won't help.
Any thoughts/advice please?

When you say ‘put up by my late brother’, do you mean that he actually carried out the installation or he paid an installer to carry out the work? If it is the latter, then the array will be registered and you should find a MCS Certificate with details of the owner and the system. This is required to claim FITs. The FIT scheme has now ended so no further claims can be made. 

If your brother paid for the array, then might it be registered in his name? Was he the beneficiary of any FITs?  If that is the case, then this is a matter for his Estate/Executor to resolve.

No FIT-payer will agree to a change of ownership unless there is a clear document trail to prove that a change of ownership has taken place. For example, if your Mum had owned the panels, then the MCS Certificate, the Will and proof of the beneficiary’s identity would have been sufficient proof in my opinion.

Who claimed the FIT, your Mum or your brother. Is FIT actually being claimed. When were the panels installed, were they installed by a registered installer, who holds the registration documents, were they actually registered for FIT, if so who with.

So who inherited your late brother's estate? Have you got documentary evidence of that?
