Octopus have removed the need for a Solar PV installation to be carried out by an MCS-certified installer. It now reads as below. So anyone out there who’s been adrift of a decent rate then now’s the time to switch!

It seems from comments on YT that some DNO's are still saying they need a MCS installer to look over DIY systems before they will approve, and Octopus still want the DNO approval?, So probably best to call the DNO to check first.
