Seems to be updated regards system modifications, with a few new phrases, like, "repowering" being introduced around efficency improvements.
Might be worth a skim through if planning changes (section 3)

Re: New OFGEM FIT policy released yesterday
interesting that , thanks resybaby. so in theory I can still get my full-fat FIT from 2011 by changing my 3.43kw 14 x 235w panels (2mppt of 8 and 6 )to 570W panels so that the bank of 6 would be the 3.43 and a separate inverter for the 8 in a new system for SEG with octopus without increasing total number of panels from 14
I assume that's what I'm reading - what's your take?

In effect that is exactly how i read it.
In fact, earlier today, i ordered 11 x 570 JA Panels to replace my current 21 x 190w FIT panels (using 7 of the new ones) to do exactly that! Panel Efficency up from 14% to 21%. I have earlier calcd that id gain approx a 20% yield increase for the 4kw system with the newer panel from monitoring my teo systems. Which with the FIT £ payments rising, would pay the panel costs back in no time at all.
3 of the extra panels ive bought are to add to my secondary synsynk system to max out that invertor (it can handle 7.2kw), as spare capacity left there.
And a spare one to play around with and connect via a microinverter on the log store roof to learn from/mess with.
This game is toooo addictive

Re: New OFGEM FIT policy released yesterday
Meant to add, that the 570's are much bigger sized panels than the originals, so best check theres space on the roof for them - i can just about sneak mine on.
And pray for a wind free day when doing it

Re: New OFGEM FIT policy released yesterday
I think Nowty poo it’s it you can upgrade your FIT system to your benefit and not affect payments, can’t remeber which thread he posted it, maybe worth being a sticky?
