We chose installers who we recommend based on our assessment of their expertise, accreditations, track record and competitive pricing. We have ensured the installers can provide evidence of insurances, safety and quality accreditation. We checked that the installers are Microgeneration Scheme certified and are bound by the RECC consumer code. The recommended installers are also able to offer particularly competitive pricing because they know they will receive a number of leads via the scheme. This is what we\u2019re referring to when we talk about \u201cdiscounted pricing\u201d.<br \/>\nThe installation company will be the company you place an order with and who you pay to do the work.

Their prices showed discounts ranging between 10% and 20% depending on the size and the selection of product used.<br \/>\nAs you can appreciate, every house is different and so being able to offer a like for like comparison and be precise on the discounts possible is not a perfect process, which is why we quote a range of up to 20%. We appreciate you may wish to find prices from the local area to compare to the scheme as is your right.

This is carried via cables into an \u201cinverter\u201d box (often put close to the panels e.g. in a loft space) which converts it into Alternating Current (AC) electricity. This AC is the same kind of electricity as you receive from the national grid. The AC power is fed into your consumer unit\/electricity panel.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"accordion-4112323655\" class=\"accordion-item\">\n\t\t<a id=\"accordion-4112323655-label\" class=\"accordion-title plain\" href=\"#accordion-item-will-my-electricity-bills-reduce-to-zero?\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-4112323655-content\" >\n\t\t\t<button class=\"toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle\"><i class=\"icon-angle-down\"><\/i><\/button>\n\t\t\t<span>Will my electricity bills reduce to zero?<\/span>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<div id=\"accordion-4112323655-content\" class=\"accordion-inner\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-4112323655-label\" >\n\t\t\t\n<p>Almost certainly not, but your bill should be reduced.<br \/>\nWhen the solar panels are generating electricity, the power will be used first by any device that is switched on in your house. The power you use like this is electricity you don\u2019t have to pay the electricity company to import from the grid, so that reduces your electricity bill.<br \/>\nOver the course of the year, the average house with a &#8220;typical&#8221; number of solar panels installed will use more electricity than the solar generates. However as you switch devices on\/off and as the weather changes, you may be importing from the grid one minute and exporting the next. At some times of day, you may use more than you generate (so you\u2019ll pay to import the balance from the grid via your electricity bill). At other times your solar may generate more than you are using at that point in time (a surplus).<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"accordion-3569631025\" class=\"accordion-item\">\n\t\t<a id=\"accordion-3569631025-label\" class=\"accordion-title plain\" href=\"#accordion-item-what-will-happen-with-any-surplus-electricity?\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-3569631025-content\" >\n\t\t\t<button class=\"toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle\"><i class=\"icon-angle-down\"><\/i><\/button>\n\t\t\t<span>What will happen with any surplus electricity?<\/span>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<div id=\"accordion-3569631025-content\" class=\"accordion-inner\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-3569631025-label\" >\n\t\t\t\n<p>There may be times of the day when the panels are generating more electricity than you are using in the house. When this happens, there are a few options:<br \/>\n\u2022 The default setup is that any surplus electricity is automatically \u201cexported\u201d back to the grid. If you have a 2nd generation Smart meter, you can sign up via the government\u2019s Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) scheme to sell the surplus electricity to an electricity company (this doesn\u2019t have to be the same as your electricity supplier). This is the easiest option with the lowest up-front costs, but you should be aware that the price you\u2019ll be paid for electricity you export to the grid will be much less than you will pay for electricity you import. You can supplement this option by also trying to use electricity when the sun shines (e.g. running the washing machine during the day).<br \/>\n\u2022 If you have a hot water tank, and alternative option can be to get a device installed that automatically uses any surplus electricity you generate to heat water in your hot water tank using an immersion heater.<br \/>\n\u2022 Another option that is gaining in popularity is to invest in a battery system which stores any surplus electricity so it\u2019s available for you to use when you need it. This is normally the most expensive option up-front, but helps minimise the amount of (more expensive) electricity you need to pay to import from the grid.<\/p>\n<p>Our recommended installer will be able to give advice on the options to help you make a decision.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"accordion-1511724184\" class=\"accordion-item\">\n\t\t<a id=\"accordion-1511724184-label\" class=\"accordion-title plain\" href=\"#accordion-item-who-are-zero-chippenham?\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-1511724184-content\" >\n\t\t\t<button class=\"toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle\"><i class=\"icon-angle-down\"><\/i><\/button>\n\t\t\t<span>Who are Zero Chippenham?<\/span>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<div id=\"accordion-1511724184-content\" class=\"accordion-inner\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-1511724184-label\" >\n\t\t\t\n<p>Zero Chippenham are a not for profit volunteer run organisation.

As well as validating the standard of installations it gives you an independent quality measure of the installer. You can cross check on the MCS website for installer certification. Some companies claim they are MCS certified on their websites, but actually use an umbrella company for their certification. So it&#8217;s always worth checking directly on the MCS website. It is almost impossible to apply to receive a Smart Export Guarantee payment for any excess solar you generate without having an MCS certified installation. Note: It is not only the equipment that needs to be certified, but the installation as a whole.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.napit.org.uk\/about-us.aspx\">NAPIT<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/niceic.com\/find-a-tradesperson\/?gclid=CjwKCAjwgsqoBhBNEiwAwe5w0xdUrl9T1WXglVTJPlt31QGaewXM6qkhocnkY0gs5rJCWkjfC1NAfBoCIUIQAvD_BwE\">NICEIC<\/a> certified. These are government approved UK accreditation bodies for Electricians. This certification allows the electrician to install and test the electrical installation and certify that it meets Part P of the building regulations Electrical safety. Your new installation must be signed off as being Electrically safe.<\/li>\n<li>Electricity supply authority approval (SSE). As part of the installation process our installer will liaise with SSE to obtain either G99 pre-approval or G98 post installation approval. The type of approval required is determined by the size of the installation, in particular the inverter sizing. A typical 4kWp installation with a 3.68kW inverter falls under the G98 post approval process. Larger installations require pre-approval via G99.<\/li>\n<li>Beyond this we use the experience of our members in renewable energy to vet installers for quality and reputation. In some instances this involved &#8216;blind&#8217; testing. The consequence is since the scheme was launched in 2018 we have only worked with three installers to date (Sept 2023).\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>We follow up on installations to see how they progress and what peoples experiences are.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We have been asked why our installer isn&#8217;t Checkatrade approved?<\/p>\n<p>The honest answer is we don&#8217;t consider this a relevant factor (no offence to Checkatrade!). We have used the expertise and experience of our volunteer members who have years of experience in solar and electrical installations, to vet our installers for competence. We also follow up enquiries to see how they progress and get feedback from applicants. The MCS, NAPIT and\/or NICEIC accreditations are the relevant quality approval checks for solar installations.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"accordion-970640850\" class=\"accordion-item\">\n\t\t<a id=\"accordion-970640850-label\" class=\"accordion-title plain\" href=\"#accordion-item-are-you-octopus-compatible?\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-970640850-content\" >\n\t\t\t<button class=\"toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle\"><i class=\"icon-angle-down\"><\/i><\/button>\n\t\t\t<span>Are you Octopus compatible?<\/span>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<div id=\"accordion-970640850-content\" class=\"accordion-inner\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-970640850-label\" >\n\t\t\t\n<p>A recent applicant asked if our scheme was Octopus compatible?<\/p>\n<p>The answer is yes! The important factor here is that the installation is MCS certified and signed off for Electrical safety under Part P of the building regulations (see the accreditations FAQ for more information). It will also be G98 or G99 approved by the electricity network supply authority SSE. This comes in the form of an acknowledgement email that our installer will pass you on completion along with the necessary MCS certification number.<\/p>\n<p>You will enter or upload this information when applying to switch to Octopus or receive payment for solar export.<\/p>\n<p>As part of your installation you will almost certainly move in the near future to a smart meter if you don&#8217;t have one already. In order to obtain payment for excess solar you generate through Octopus or whichever energy company you choose, you will need to provide them the MCS certificate number of your installation and confirmation of G98 or G99 approval. That&#8217;s it.<\/p>\n<p>Octopus will install a Smart meter if you don&#8217;t have one as they will need this to remotely record your usage and generation. If you have both import and export with Octopus you&#8217;ll then receive a bill for the energy you use, and a credit note for the energy you generate each month. You don&#8217;t have to have both import and export with the same electricity company, but many such as Octopus offer a much better export rate if you do &#8211; 16p\/kWh exported vs 4p\/kWh for example.<\/p>\n<p>Many Zero Chippenham members who had solar installed through the scheme have been through this
