Hi members,
I'm sorry if I am recreating an existing thread. I am new to this forum. I have a couple of items I need guidance on please.
1. I have recently taken ownership of a house that has had Solar Photovoltaic panels since 2012. The previous owner was selling energy back to his supplier E.ON.
I have signed up with Octopus and I sent them an Export Tariff Application so I can sell energy back too. They call it Octopus Outgoing. They responded by saying that they checked the FiT (Feed in tariff) register and that shows that there is an existing FiT registered but in a different name. They advised me to contact the current FiT provider for my address as they can update the name on the FiT register. In case it helped, I asked the previous owner to tell E.ON to make a change on their system to me as the new owner of these panels and he said he'd look into this as he had simply told them that he's moving and taken his account to his new place.
I contacted Ofgem who said that this installation is registered with British Gas Trading, the FIT Licensee. I then contacted British Gas Trading who acknowledged my email saying they will respond in due course and gave me a reference number. But they also said that the Feed in Tariff scheme is now closed to new applications but all existing applications will still be processed.
Am I to wait to hear back from British Gas or does that message from them mean they can't/won't help? My desire is to be able to sell energy back Octopus so any guidance on how to go about this, different to what I've already shared above, would be very valuable.
2. I have an Omnik inverter (photo attached). While trying to figure out how I can monitor my system's performance and be notified when I'm producing solar energy, I learnt that Omnik has gone bankrupt and that SOLARMAN have taken over their accounts. Any guidance on how I can connect my Omnik inverter to my home network? I stood next to it to see if my phone picks up the inverter's network but it didn't so I am clearly missing a step(s).
Thank you!
