dave1967 Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 Hi We are reroofing so our 2011 panels need to come off and as they are badly fitted and an eyesore we are going in roof. Can anyone help with a solar company who can supply. I can get 8 ja 325w panels for £850 but they cant supply the fittings and mountings . We dont want to pay more than £1500 if possible. Any help appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamonHD Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 Are you being paid a FiT? That may be at risk if you change the panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting, as I'm in a similar position. Do you have a link to the documentation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgt_woulds Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 Why can't you in-roof with the panels you've got? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave1967 Posted September 26 Author Share Posted September 26 That was from ovo. But they advised to check with ofgem who said what they say is not legally binding however as long as all the plant is not decommissioned up to the grid it should be fine. So a swap for repairs or cosmetic should be ok. It also says this on their website. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dillsue Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 (edited) You can chop and change a FIT system without loosing the payments for the original capacity. Google " guidance for FIT generators" and it's all explained in there. Here's the link https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/publications/feed-tariffs-guidance-fit-generators see section 3 Edited September 26 by Dillsue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone sent me link recently to a Guardian reporter saying you can't change anything which isn't what the OFGEM guidance says! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpener Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 Yes, OFGEM have bowed to the inevitable and finally acknowledged that much old FIT eqpt is nearing the end of its life and the identical like-for-like replamements they used to insist on are simply not available any more. Current guidance is much more realistic including the apportionment rules if capacity is changed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave1967 Posted September 27 Author Share Posted September 27 I thought that 100 each was ok. Change of anyway 6 420 will fit the roof better so going with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CEF we're selling Longi 405s for £52 earlier this year. City Plumbing have 410s at £56 just now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
