Feed in tariff and exporting back to the grid - solar install question.

[HappyHippyDad]

I'm a little confused about whether I need to be MCS accredited or not.

A few questions...

1. Can the customer still export back to the grid and get paid for this if I am not MCS?

2. Is there actually still any kind of FIT or smart export guarantee being offered anyway?

3. Plus, I'm not really sure if those 2 things (FIT, smart export guarantee) are the same thing or not?

4. What exactly does the customer lose out on by not using someone who is MCS?

Cheers

I’m not sure if there is a FIT anymore for new set ups?

There might be no warranty offered on the panels and inverters if they are not installed by an MCS installer.



I’d like to know if I should be getting a higher rate for selling my solar electricity back to the grid, as I’m having to pay them more for selling it to me?

FIT closed for new installs but SEG came after and appears to require MCS certified installs.
