DNO ENA Application Form

[FIT-PV]

I just called UK Power networks regarding a 17kw install,

They said I need to fill in this form

http://2010.energynetworks.org/storage/Master_ENA_Generator_Application_Form_V2_April2011.doc

After looking at this form, I am a little confused! - a lot of information on here, very very very technical.

Has anyone filled this form out before?

You only need to fill in section 1 for the initial application

If I am installing a 9kw on a three phase supply and I split the install 3,3,3 then am i correct in saying I need to fill in a G83-1/1 application form? Also does the DNO need informing prior to the installation or can I Install and notify within 28 days?

3kWp per phase is G83-1 and therefore no prior notification is needed.

ok great... to my understanding I thought if for example you were doing two houses on one street, then you need to inform the DNO, hence in this case with 1 building 3 phase and each one has 3kwp per phase, you would need to apply the same rules.

This is the form that I thought needed to be filled in prior to installation.

Wrong form unless you are installing multiple inverters. You want the bottom form on this page after you have commissioned it.
Single G83 connections

Thanks Bruce,

This building has 2 supplies. We are going to use 1 Inverter on each supply. Would the Single G83 connection still be valid?

 

[BruceB]

No I am wrong by the look of it. I saw the post about 3/3/3, which adds up to 9, without noticing your original post said 17kW, or realising you had two inverters. You are right I think that you are in Stage 2 territory rather than Stage 1.

so your putting 8.5kw per Mpan? but splitting it between 3 x 1ph inverters on a 3ph supply? Am i reading that right?

Have you thought of Kostal 3ph 4.2/5.5/8.4/10.1 3ph Inverters with 3 mpp on each of the sizes? Just one inverters on each install then or Power-one's 3ph 8kw is out soon or SMA 8kw tripower I think is out now?

If its two supplies on the same property but on separate Mpan's they may want G59
