That is exactly what I am thinking. I have seen Solfit and made inquiries but what else can I consider?

I'm having an 18kva single phase supply.

I think I am going to have to go for G99 as I can't see 3.6k being enough. As for MCS 012 I'm still confused. My understanding is that GSE is MCS 012 compliant, many solar panels are MCS 012 compliant but NOT necessarily together, which is where I am at right now. But then if it is a DIY install MCS doesn't apply? Or does it?

Really? So I can get building regs sign off with GSE and a panel of my choice? I haven't seen that written anywhere but I am floundering around trying to get accurate information. If that is the case then I guess it makes it much easier. I certainly intend as much battery as I can afford. I was planning on not exporting to the grid but I think that means G99 application for a decent inverter, but I guess that is for another thread.

Hello. I am getting on with my self build house and was getting quotes for a 24 panel GSE in roof system when suddenly my supplier threw up the MCS 012 certification and the supply of solar panels approved for an installation. I was planning on doing the install myself, it doesn't seem that complicated, and I am only concentrating on the infrastructure for now. It makes sense to spend what funds I have on putting the solar on the roof at the build stage. Then this spanner has been thrown in the works. I have had a quote for JA solar and AIKO panels but I don't think I can install them as they don't meet the new requirements. So I joined this forum hoping someone can guide me through this. What are people's thoughts? For instance, does it make more sense to put a conventional roof on and not go with in roof? I don't want to because of the aesthetics but I need to look at all options given I don't have all the money in the world and I need to get building regs sign off. My goal is to cram as much solar on the roof as I can and I'm not interested in exporting to the grid, only running the house, if that is an important detail. ?
