I've tried to get OFGEM to issue clarification on TIC and DNC - to write it in words that a PV installer can make sense of - but they are not prepared to do it.
I am still going to try to find more senior people in OFGEM to get this done though.
Reality is that 99% of systems registered for FiTs have TIC and DNC as the same value. But TIC is the phrase used in the legal document that defines the tariff bands. OFGEM then go and use DNC in some other (non-legal) documents and the confusion multiples.
Why MCS only ask for DNC on the certificate is a complete mystery to me. Suppliers ask the owner for both TIC and DNC when they sign for a FiTs contract. The owner is probably the last person who understands the terms.

Trying to find some definitions of Total Installed Capacity & Declared Net Capacity. I'm guessing TIC is basically the kWp of the array and DNC is the AC side of the generator?
I notice in the Central FIT Register User Guide, which I understand the suppliers use to register FiT applications, TIC & DNC are both requested, so they are recognised as different.
I'll go ask MCS and UK Power Networks and come back here

I just checked the SSE FIT application form off their site as I was going to try and post a copy as I know it only mentions DNC. It does not say TIC at all. I was surprised to see it is a new form which says "Installed Capacity (kw)" now? So it is not even a defined calculation.
Happy days.

Hi All
I am having the same problem.
No one will give me an answer as to size of array possible under G83.
Elec North west have sent me an email saying anything under 4kw is permitted under G83
As for Scottish power, who i deal with most , after 4 months of speaking to different people i still don't have an answer.
they have sent me a pre application form for any system over 3.68Kw which is headed for a G83 install.
I have 9 forms outstanding without response, The first submitted will be 7 weeks old this Thursday.
Called SP today and as always the person is on leave or off sick. Still no joy
Needs to be sorted ASAP.
How hard can it be to give an answer???????

The G83 limit applies to the inverter output. I'm still trying to get ENA to get the word on this out to all DNOs so that everyone has the same answer.
OP
Matt iecconnect
Having spoke to a Scottish power engineer today, He confirmed that the max output of the array is measured by the max AC inverter output.
So it is possible to install a 3.92 kw system, comply with G83, as long as the inverter is rated less than 3.68kw.
If you require a G59 it will cost £900 + vat to witness test and carry out a network survey.
I have not yet received this in writing but expect to get it tomorrow.

This is a reply i received from UK Power Networks. This is the first one that has given an answer to so many questions:
Calculation of the size of the SSEG
Some installers appeared to mis-understand the rating of the SSEG as it should be reported on the G83 form. What is required is the maximum output from the SSEG, not the total rating of the solar panels. The calculation should be done, as follows:
• Add the total rating of all of the solar panels. Call this SP_Rating.
• Identify the efficiency of the inverter. Some inverters have charts showing how the efficiency varies with the DC Input Voltage, and other factors, and some just state an 'Average Efficiency'. Call this Inverter_Efficiency.
• Multiply the two figures (i.e. SP_Rating x Inverter_Efficiency). Call this Output_1.
• Compare Output_1 with the maximum rated output of the Inverter. Take the smaller figure. This is the SSEG output which should be reported.
Consider the following worked example:
7 solar panels rated at 235 Watts each, with a Sunny Boy 1200, (rated at 1200 Watts)
7 x 235 = 1645 Watts (SP_Rating)
Inverter Efficiency = 92% (Inverter_Efficiency).
SP_Rating x Inverter_Efficiency = Output_1.
1645 x 92% = 1513.4 Watts (Output_1)
Compare Output_1 (1513.4 Watts) with the rated output of the Sunny Boy 1200 (1200 Watts), and take the smaller figure, which is 1200 Watts.
Our guidance for installers is:
Here is our standard advice to new installers.
The first point to note is that G83 has a fixed upper limit of 16 Amps per phase at 240 Volts (3.84kW), which doesn't quite extend to the 4kW of the first band of the Feed-In Tariff. However, many installers, in talking to customers, who want to hear a big number, refer to the size of the installation according to the DC output of the Solar Panels, whereas we as a Distribution Network Operator, are concerned with the AC Output from the inverter. Please see the explanation below on how to calculate the output to record on the G83 form.
I've attached the G83 Commissioning Notification Form. This should be completed and sent no more than 30 days after completion of a G83 Installation. Although we don't insist that Installers use our form, we find it helps to ensure that the correct information is recorded.

Generation up to 3.84kW Per Phase
You need to note that G83 allows for up to 16 Amps per phase at 240V AC (i.e. 3.84kW), and there is no flexibility to exceed 16 Amps per phase under G83.
Submitting G83 Notifications
The G83 form needs to be accompanied by a copy of the G83 Compliance certificate of the Inverter and a Schematic Diagram of the installation.
Our preferred method of receiving G83 registrations is by email to the address on the form. When G83 Registrations are made by email, it is sufficient to type your name as your signature.
MPANs
A key item of information for the registration is the MPAN, which is on the Customer's electricity bill. Experienced installers collect this information when the customer places the order.
There is a useful webpage to identify the DNO from the MPAN at:
Meter Point Administration Number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Generation between 3.84kW and 4.00kW Per Phase

Nice to see something fom a Dno down on paper
although using 240v on calculations is the right way it should be done,as this is the voltage they are supplying, I'm curious why some use 240 and some 230
Dno's are using 230v ie Harmonised values and stating 3.68 kw before an aplication need to be made not 240v /3.84kw
It seems to me that those using 230v must be the right way to size the system (because of harmonisation etc)
the 3.84kw figure does'nt make much sense as 16 w extra to the 4 kw limit is'nt going to make that much difference until everyone has a system and by then they'll have rebuilt the grid anyway
anyone know why? as I'm sure they should all be using the same values in their calculations

G83 is quite definitely 16A at 230V for single phase. There is no guidance on how that is to be interpreted at different voltages.
Apparently discussion of G83 is on the agenda for the next meetings of the DCRP - a meeting of all DNOs under the auspices of the ENA. But I am informed that any decision on changes to G83 will take months to come into effect. The last update, from G83/1 to G83/1-1, took about 12 months.
I'll be pulling together all the responses here and feeding them back to the ENA so that they can at least appreciate the issues involved for installers who are getting different advice from different DNOs and even different engineers within the same DNO.

Do you think DNO's could insist on only allowing inverters that are 16 amps limited by the manufacturer being installed into G83/1 installations? That solves the issue for UK Networks and I wonder if all DNO's might concur. That would not require a change in regulations as it is already a requirement that output is maxed at 16 amps. It does not resolve the disparity in voltage calculations though.

Our DNO has, very sensibly, temporarily upped their limit to 17A per phase for G83 for 1 year. This means we can install a 4kw system on a 4000TL and still comply. This also means that national companies quoting here are telling customers they can't have an array above 3.6, which is nice...

So unless the DNO has changed the G83/1 regulation how can they do this?

I think that this will depend a lot on your location and what the grid infrastructure is like, I've asked about the possibility of this figure of 17kw on a single phase and was told very unlikely in my area as the grid runs from 132kv straight to 11kv (its a fairly rural area) and Dno's have less opportunity to control voltage rises than with 132kv to 33kv to 11kv systems where apparently its less of a problem.

Hi
This is an email I received from Central Networks dated the 25th March.
Central networks comments are given in blue.
Hope this helps.
"So that I have definitely got this right could you confirm the following"
1. g83 goes up to 3.68kw after which g59 protection settings becomes the standard.
The standard G83 limit is 16A per phase (i.e. 3.68kW single phase or 11kW three-phase). For a single SSEG installation, this can be connected and then you can inform us later, providing all the commissioning documents etc to register for FIT. The standard G83 compliant inverter is acceptable (with upper frequency set to 50.5Hz). For connections >16A/phase, there has been a relaxation in the rules as given below.
2. It is possible to install up to 17kw on a single phase or 17kw per phase on a 3 phase system so long as the protection settings in the inverter are based around the g59 standard therefore negating the use of g59 relays ( this is depending on whether the line can take it )
We will accept a G83 1/1 type connection for a single SSEG installation, provided the inverters used are type-verified, and the capacity is no greater than 17kW single phase, or 50kW three-phase. You must submit an application form first (Appendix 2 of G83/1) to gain consent for connection, or to get costs for any reinforcement that maybe required. A G83 compliant inverter could be used, provided the upper frequency limit is set to 51.5Hz, or a G59/2 relay.
3. I have been quoting for a job where the customer requires approx 9.6kwp on a single phase supply. The intended design is to use 3 separate g83 inverters ,sma 3300 which as far as I am a where are configured with the g83 protection settings. Is it ok to use these inverters with the g83 settings as they individually are less than the 3.68kw limit ? The problem is I can't find a single inverter to use on a single phase which has the g59 protection settings and I don't want to get into the realm of g59 relays.
As above, the G83 protection should be set to 51..5Hz on the upper frequency

Looking at the protection settings on sma inverters they are set to the country relevent settings and they can not be altered.
How do you change the upper frequency to 51.5hz on a g83 type inverter?
