Hi,
Does anyone know where I can find written clarification please, in relation to replacing solar panels under the fit scheme? I did speak to someone a long time ago who said it’s possible if it’s a like for like swap but were very vague on what I could do. I’ve seen a post on here asking a similar question but it doesn’t explain where we can get written clarification. I currently have 2.75kw (11x250w) and would like to replace it with 2.73kw (7x390w) so it keeps the panels kw’s lower than the 2.75kw but obviously, the newer panels will be more efficient.
If that is possible, do you have to have an MCS certified installer to replace them?
If I add AC-Coupled battery storage, do I have to inform anyone or get permission?
Thank you to anyone that can point me in the right direction. I do plan to phone the helpline to see what they say but as it’s a costly mistake if you break the terms of fit, I was hoping to find something written that clarifies 100% what’s allowed.
