Both FIT AND export payments to be cancelled next year
The government seem to have given a boost to small scale battery storage, as they've announced that not only are they scrapping the FIT subsidy next year, but they are also not going to allow microgenerators to be paid anything for any electricity they export to the grid.
So, if looking to fit PV, then several things become paramount. The first is to maximise self use, which may lead to the adoption of East/West arrays, or even flat arrays, more useful than South facing arrays. Sec
It is, you have to fit a changeover switch, but that's pretty easy. In the specific case of the Sofar system with the Pylontech battery packs, it has two 230 VAC outputs, one is grid tied and complies with G83/2, so turns off when the grid tie is lost. The other remains up and can be connected to power-critical systems, so the system works like an uninterruptible power supply.
In practice, what I'd do is take the feed to the circuits I want to remain on when the grid fails out of t
