DNO Procedure for 7.5 kwp

[Simonsaid]

Hi

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to the procedure for a 7.5kwp PV system on a new school building?

Is it just a matter of contacting the local DNO?

If it's three phase you don't need to, its self cert through your MCS scheme. If it's single phase then Phone up and speak to someone at your local DNO.
Be polite and explain it's photovoltaic, using type tested inverters, and they "might" let you apply using the g83 form, or even self cert after.

which dno?

 

[steve Leese]

what about planning permission, if its run as a business you will need it, then do`nt forget the vat difference,

G83 is 16a per phase so the DNO wouldn't need to be informed until the install was completed (within 30 days)

It's in surrey so edf / uk power networks

This is the UK Power Networks page
Getting a generation scheme connected to the distribution system
It tells you just to fill in the appropriate form and send it off.
But if you are 3 phase then as others have said you just do it and inform them afterwards.
