Solar PV documentation

133 Posts

A bit of advice please having read some posts about not receiving documentation at end of installation in a timely manner.
I am having an 8Kw system and 10.24Kw battery installed mid November. Have installed a smart meter in the hope of exporting any surplus.
What documentation should I make sure I have before I pay the final payment?
TIA

G98 applied to systems that cannot breach the 16A mark, aka 3.68kW or 4kW.
If you could generate more than 16A then you would have a G99 if you wish to export all that power. If you have some form of export limiter then you would need a G99 and a G100.
With G99 you get an initial agreement from the DNO, which you will probably never see as your installer will do that, then once complete you should receive a copy of the approved form.
DNO turnaround varies based on region.

Now you have the first stage of approval your installers can install your system, then let the DNO know who will think about things for a few weeks before sending back the approval form that you need to get SEG.
