[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 479369, member: 6969"] The big issue with claiming the FIT is needing an EPC of D or better. This is an unfinished new build that I expect to get an EPC A but until it is finished I don't have an EPC. I have watched the FIT rate drop like a stone, frustrated at the stupid paperwork block put in front of me. If I had been able to claim the FIT I would have installed the solar PV 3 years ago when the rate was higher. In any event the FIT ends at the end of March, so by the time I do get an EPC it will be too late. So this is plan B. I have put together a 4KW PV system for £1500 mostly from ebay and a lot of patience to get it that cheap. If I can save £250 per year in electricity usage that is a payback of 6 years. Plus the PV is essential on the SAP rating to get the EPC A that I so want for this house. It's an all electric house (heating and HW by an air source heat pump) and will have surplus PV diverted to the immersion heater. That and using all the big appliances only in the daytime should get close to 100% self usage. Later on when the price falls further, will add battery storage. I have emailed SSE to ask what exactly they want. If they don't answer they will get a drawing and an EIC. [/QUOTE]
