Hi all, I had a quote for 7 panels in May 24 from EON (no battery), went through the process right until the surveyor arrived. When he got there he told me the inverter could not be installed in the loft & had to go on the outside of the house next to the meters.
I have no garage it has been converted & I could not het having it on the outside wall past the Mrs.
Has anyone had an install recently with an inverter located in the loft?
I ask as the surveyor I met thought this ruling would not last, so wondering if it has been scrapped in the past couple of months.

Hi Lee, I have a hipped roof so no gable but before he even looked in the loft he mentioned it was no longer something EON did.
I have not been back in touch no, just thought I would see if anyone has had one fitted in the loft recently.
I think they must be thinking of fire hazard & being cautious, I certainly would not want batteries up there.
Where they wanted to put the inverter is somewhere we walk past daily & they don't look great, although yes on the outside is less of a fire risk.
Fire risk was my initial thought however I'm not qualified to make that decision etc. They should be in touch with you to discuss or you can call Eon Solar and they should be able to give you some more details.
I have only seen a few outside the house tbh, like I said my neighbors one, is down the side, 20ft from the ground.
