However after several years of asking -even getting my MP to ask-I could never get a reply to the question `what are the parameters used to make the decision to alter the TIC`
If you can get any info out of Ofgem regarding this I would be very interested to hear it.]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17243&Focus=293033#Comment_293033 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17243&Focus=293033#Comment_293033 Thu, 11 Nov 2021 12:05:01 +0000 philedge
The answer they gave was that I would need to carry out the modification using an MCS installer and then submit the updated system details to my FIT payer for them to reveiw and accept/decline. OFGEM didnt get involved in accepting/declining a system. The cost of rejection was too much so I didnt pursue it.

Going back to Tonys original question, for a typical 4kwp system installed to G98, the DNOs limit of 3.68kw is the limiting factor as you shouldnt be hitting the 4kw FIT TIC. Unlikely the DNO would find out if you slightly over produced, but if they did its likely the MCS installer would be in hot water for connecting a non compliant system. Obiviously if its something other than a 4kw G98 system then none of this applies!]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17243&Focus=295225#Comment_295225 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17243&Focus=295225#Comment_295225 Wed, 09 Mar 2022 15:29:56 +0000 qeipl
In 2017 I installed a Powerspout which was supposed to be configured at 800W but actually runs at 1kW when the burn is full.
In February 2020 it rained heavily every day so the Powerspout generated 638kWh, which is 134kWh more than the rated output of the original Chinese turbine.
My electricity supplier noticed this and said they would have to contact OFGEM.
After 18 months of humming and hawing OFGEM decreed that my Powerspout was a "new installation" and therefore my FITS contract no longer applied.
So beware informing your supplier that you generate more in a given period than the maximum output of your rated capacity.]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17243&Focus=295235#Comment_295235 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17243&Focus=295235#Comment_295235 Wed, 09 Mar 2022 18:14:20 +0000 tony
