Adding a second PV array/inverter

[AVpro]

I'm planning this project for next spring so thought I'd ask for some basic advice well in advance:
I presently have a 1.62kW installation (FIT registered etc,) but I'm looking at putting a separate 2.6kW installation c/w its own inverter on a remote outbuilding. The small consumer unit in the outbuilding would be replaced with a unit providing a dedicated MCB for the new inverter. The outbuilding is presently fed on a seperate 10A MCB from a distribution board in the house.

My question is: can I legitimately do this? I can't see any technical reason for not doing so but I'm assuming at the very least clear labelling and suitable isolation warnings are a 'must'.

Anyone got an opinion/experience of the Centrosolar mono panels? Thanks for any advice you want to contribute.

Legitimatley adding to an existing installtion is not a problem and so long as the outbuilding is within the curtailage of the property, then there should be no issues.

Irrespective of the technical issues, timing will be critical for you, you should plan to have this all installed before the end of January.

Why? In january the Government will announce the change in feed-in-tarrifs for 1st April onwards anmd that will cause a short term rush to get everything installed.

If you miss the 1st April deadline, although it will be in the same band, the second part will be at the new (lower) rate, the old part will still atract the original (higher) rate.

Technically you'll need to ensure that the cable sizes are adequate and that the cable and installtion are protected properly - espcially if buried.
