    Expanding an existing PV array - impact on FIT

    I apologise, I couldn't find a meaningful search tool so do tell me to "do one" if this has already been asked! :) I have an existing PV array on FIT. I'd like to get more panels, be it expanding the existing or as a wholley separate set-up with it's own invertor. The key naturally is to not...
