Westie, I (did) eventually manage this, although it was a bit of struggle even though I had followed all the rules.Westie wrote: ↑Mon Jun 20, 2022 7:55 pmThanks Nowty, you knowledge on this stuff is encyclopaedic! I read about bidirectional metering being able to used to allow DC coupled hybrid systems to be allowed under a FiTs contract but never would have found the info you've provided. However even if I achieved legitimately retrofitting a DC coupled hybrid store I can just imagine how many times I'm going to have to explain this to the FiTs provider/meter reader and the actual process of registering the changes to legitimise the system would be challenging - especially as the solar FiTs scheme has ended I suspect. Do know anyone who has succeeded doing this?nowty wrote: ↑Mon Jun 20, 2022 5:29 pm With agreement from the FIT provider (easier said than done), the existing inverter could be replaced with a hybrid inverter and if the batteries are capable to be charged from the grid, the generation meter can be changed for a bi-directional one.

Its in the OFGEM FIT guidance document, page 35, section 4.25.

PS - How much PV have you got Westie ?, or average annual generation, for my secret list of Camelot Members Green Generation.

I ended up with Octopus - SSE, my previous FIT provider were very "computer says no", more to do with their systems than anything else I understand.
I did a one page brief for Octopus to explain it - PM me if you would like a copy.
