pv installation problem - please help!

[LayerSeven]

hi everyone,
i'm doing a photovoltaic installation this week and i've got a bit of an awkward problem to get around...
the pv array is going on the roof of a secondary building that is completely separate from the main house. the problem is that the secondary building has its own supply so if i connect the panels up to the cu, the main house wont get the power generated.
the only option i can think of is to run the ac cable for the pv system from the main house overhead to the secondary building. underground isnt really an option as the owner isnt happy for his patio/garden to be dug up.
has anyone got any suggestions? any help would be great!
thanks

Catenary wire - check the regs for height restrictions

Also check with the customer whether he actually wants the electricity or just the FiT, might save you some effort if the latter

thanks pjcomp! i tried suggesting to them that they should get the FIT and just sell the power generated back to the grid but they didnt go for it! they want the array fed back to the main house

Hi Layer Seven
Have you figured out how to connect the second roof to the main building ? I am also wondering how to connect a building to a delivery point, both are separated by a road and trenches are obvisouly too much expensive...cannot find relevant regs for heigh restriction
Cheers
Yves

The minimum height restrictions for overhead lines can be found in App D of the OSG.
