I'm not an electrician.
I'm looking at getting PV installed at my house but I'm being told a few different things by different people that contradict each other.
First off is the installation of the panels, I know there has to be 300mm from the edge of the roof, etc but is that still the case if your house is a mid-terrace? Since there isn't an updraft, etc, at the join of the properties either side do I still have to leave the 300mm each side?
Second is the G99 approval, I'm potentially looking at 16-18 panels, total rating around 7.2kWh BUT it's split across 2 sides of the roof so it would never produce the full capacity (house is East/West facing). I was looking at a 5kWh inverter but I've been told that most applications in my area are usually either denied OR approved with a limiting devices being required, has anyone heard of something like this (DNO is Western Power).
