OK.

You don`t say if you have M.C.S accredition or not; if you haven`t, you can`t offer feed-in tariffs.

You`re putting VAT on; so we assume you`re VAT registered?

"Siting of solar panels"; not `citing`

In the "shading" and "summary" components, you use "effected" - change that for "affected".

The only other thing I`d say is that your first line would probably be my last line.

THAT is HELLUVA CHEAP.............

another good thing to point out to customers is that it doesnt work in the event of a power failure,

that sounds pointless. you should be able to run in stand alone incase of power failure. isolated from DNO obviously

Andy,

It can be done, and easily, but...

Not cheaply!

There are several ways, but none are apparently cost effective for basic PV installs.

or legal for a feed in system to M.C.S standards.

Steps,

That's sad, mind as I say an island system is NOT that difficult to design really as I understand it?

You "just" need to isolate the grid from the consumer & local generation in a "fault tolerant" manner in the event of mains failure?

As I understand things this happens all over the world on a daily basis?

..........

Not CHEAP though!

*** is but a stone throw away!

Thanks for the grammar edit! That will always let me down

What qualifies for the lower rates of VAT?Installation of any of the following qualifies for the lower rate of VAT:

* controls for central heating and hot water systems

first ive heard of that one. does anyone here actually charge 5% VAT for this?

also, shouldnt the wholesalers only be charging 5% VAT for heating controls?

poheZ · Sep 8, 2010

no the sale of the goods are at 17.5% but if you install the energy saving products at the same time as supplying materials then it is 5%

so you the installer will have to reclaim the lost VAT from the VAT man
