Customer wants to put 2 x 4kw arrays onto the properties he owns next to his business as they have the perfect roofs.
He has a large electric demand so needs to plug into the business supply and get everything available. Apart from balancing the loads over 3 phase and accepting that it would be hard to unravel the deal if he wanted to sell either property is there any reason not to do this. In effect he is just using the other properties as a free standing array to support the panels and everything goes into his supply service. Technically under planning regs. he complies as the array will not be outside permitted development based on two separate properties. It makes no mention of who gets the benefit.
I have advised he should contact the council to check as it faces across a main road but that may lead to a can of worms better left unopened as the council will probably not understand the concept anyway. He will need to get the roof structure checked. He is gambling on the Appeal being lost as he was told the 43p was guaranteed before 3rd March! I explained the actual situation.
I know there have been similar questions a while ago but I cannot remember the final opinions in this scenario.
