I'm just waiting for my G98 which I've been told will be done by Friday this week at the latest.
I can then submit everything to join outgoing tariff. How long does it take on average once you press submit to when you're 'accepted' and can start getting paid for what you put back into the grid

1-3 days, assuming everything is submitted correctly. Follow up with a stern phone call if not.- 10 x 400w LG Bifacial + 6 x 550W SHARP BiFacial + 2 x 570W SHARP Bifacial + 5kW SolarEdge Inverter + SolarEdge Optimizers. SE London.

- Viessmann 200-W on Advanced Weather Comp. (The most efficient gas boiler sold)Feel free to DM me for help with any form of energy saving! Happy to help!0 -
Might take a while to get an export MPAN from the DNO. Then they need 30 min meter readings for you to go on agile outgoing...
I think 3 days is probably optimistic 😅0 -
our mcs certificate already had a mpan number on it. or will it need a new one again0

This is based on actual experience across 3 households as recently as last week. It does assume you have your DNO and MCS documentation like we did.Meatballs said:Might take a while to get an export MPAN from the DNO. Then they need 30 min meter readings for you to go on agile outgoing...

Mine says Supply MPAN - e.g. your current import MPAN. You need an export MPAN to be generated by the DNO which is normally the limiting factor afaik.katkin804 said:our mcs certificate already had a mpan number on it. or will it need a new one again0 -
thanks. I've had my DNO letter today so submitted it all and will just wait and see.

6weeks for me from application submission till confirmation from Octopus. I think Octopus are swamped with workload due to SEG, Tariff changed and price cap. Add to this the DNO who have their hands full.
For a historical perspective took me 4 weeks to be FIT registered in 2015.“Don't raise your voice, improve your argument." - Desmond Tutu
Solar - 9.2 KWp + Enphase IQ7+ and IQ8AC (Feb 22 & Sep 24) + Givenergy AC Coupled inverter + 2 * 8.2KWh Battery (May 2022) + Mitsubishi 7.1 KW and 2* Daikin 2.5 KW A2A Heat Pump

the company who generate the MPAN say they are taking about a week so hopefully be done in the next couple of weeks1
