Clause 5.8 - Octopus Opens up the Solar PV market with a paragraph | GTEC
Griff Thomas, MD for GTEC, discusses a simple change to Octopus Energy’s Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) which marks a significant shift for consumers and, potentially, electrical installers.

Hopefully this is not a belated 1st April. Good to see the market being opened up; we need a plurality of options!

Perhaps @transparent will now change from Ovo to Octopus 🙂

That's good to know @chickenbig
There will be many forum members here who would be competent enough to install their own renewable generation devices, and then employ a qualified electrician to make the mains connection for the inverter.
So they can now register for SEG payments from Octopus.

That will make a significant difference.

I'm in discussion with others in Devon who will be designing and installing 1kWh water turbines.

24kWh per day is more than they'll need for in-house consumption.

and that technology could never achieve MCS accreditation.
It's the mains connection for the inverter which needs professional certification, not the hydro-generator!
