Solar panels….?

My mpan (sse) took about 3 weeks to come through, then about another 4 days for octopus to do their bit.

I have just had a mail from Octopus saying that I cannot have Outgoing and Go at the same time (which kind of makes sense), but I need to sign up to the SEG. However, my dashboard seems to show that it is almost fully setup. I am not sure what to do.

Once you've got all the certs you submit them to set up the SEG. Your energy company will submit a request for the mpan (it's the meter export number, you will have one on your bill for import already). Once they have the mpan for export they can register your meter with them for export.

So i only need the mcs then, as my system is only 3.2kw, so i dont need dno permission….i only have to notify them after fitting.

Yep, once they are notified by your installer (or you) they give you an acknowledgement, that gets submitted with the MCS cert when setting up the SEG and the supplier takes care of the rest.

I might swap to that in Summer, but for winter will import to my battery at night via the Go tariff.

Do you think they will accept my grandson's RC car as an EV?

They accepted my neighbours car

 Currently electricity suppliers are accepting on face value that if you say you have an EV, it is so.

Regarding a battery back up instead of an EV, again it's identical to a car for load- just capacity is less
