[QUOTE="hiddenhippo, post: 528899, member: 35089"] Hi Bob. The short version is that I commissioned an independent company to complete the G99 application on my behalf, which they've completed and submitted for approval. All being well I will then install the hybrid and batteries under the "competent persons scheme" - using a NICEIC registered electrician who I've used before for replacing my consumer unit, fitting a power feed for a shower, and numerous other things. Having the registered electrician take care of the installation, or parts thereof, gives me the assurance that we'll be regs-compliant, and more importantly, electrically safe. What I don't yet know is whether my export tariff will still apply. An export tariff is usually only granted by your electricity provider where evidence of DNO approval can be provided along with an MSC installation certificate. The original installation has DNO approval and an MSC certificate, however, the new hybrid won't and neither will the batteries. With that said I can hardly see that being an issue, in the sense that grid-tied inverters fail and need replacing, and would people call an MSC certified installer for this (costs more) or their local sparky... So I think I'll be fine to keep the export, although to be fair, I doubt there'll be much export as it'll be diverted to the batteries. [/QUOTE]
