[QUOTE="Marky0, post: 551110, member: 35324"] Its great news that Octopus are now trialing export tariffs without MCS certificates. I signed up for their trial as soon as it was announced (having installed my system myself, with electrical connection done by a qualified electrician). E-mail came through yesterday to allow me to join the scheme, and I have all the necessary electrical paperwork (DNO, NICEIC certificate) but pondering the requirement for "Building Control Approval". Panels are on my garage roof, which I understood did not require planning permission nor building control as it (1) Is a permitted development with the panels not extending above the ridgeline and not projecting from the roof or wall surface - no planning required (2) The garage is detached, open on two sides, less than 30m2 floor area and is constructed from non-combustible materials - no building regs required So I am scratching my head a little on how to proceed, and don't want to burn the £250 octopus application fee if I have a problem. Before I open pandora's box with the local building control am I correct in my assessment, or am I heading for a retrospective application. Any advice appreciated ! [/QUOTE]
