If you email us your form the meter reading will need to be taken on the same day. But if you post your form, please keep a record of your daily meter readings for seven days after you post it, because we’ll need an up-to-date meter reading.

Supporting documents needed for your application

MCS certificate – for up to 50kWh or Roo FiT letter – for over 50kWh

EPC certificate or valid exemption letter – for Solar PV only†

Signed Solar PV Declarations – please make sure you have signed the two appropriate declarations (see pages 5-7)

Proof of ownership – for example, a copy of your invoice for generation equipment

Proof of address – if you’re not a British Gas customer, we’ll need copies of two utility bills or bank statements

Proof of identification – for example, a photocopy of your passport/driving licence

What you need to do

Please scan and email your documents to us at feedintari�@britishgas.co.uk Please note that there is a 5MB limit for emails and you may need to send separate emails if the files are too large.

Or you can post them to British Gas, Feed-in Tari� Team, Winnall Down, Alresford Road, Winchester, Hampshire SO21 1FP. Don’t forget, you may have to send us a new meter reading if you send your documents this way.

How long will it take to set up my account? It may take up to 28 days to get you registered after we get your fully completed application.

What happens if I don’t send everything in? If anything is missing, the date your new Feed-in Tari� can start on will be delayed, and we’ll also need a new meter reading to get your account up and running.

British Gas is a mandatory Feed-in Tari� licensee.

† NOTE If you have a Solar PV installation that is eligible for Feed-in Tari� payments, on or after 1st April 2012 the amount of Feed-in Tari� payments you will be entitled to receive will depend on the energy-e�ciency rating of your property. Without this document you will still receive Feed-in Tari� payments but at a lower tari�.

If you choose to return the application to us via email or post, the application needs to be completed and returned on the date the installation was commissioned. If your application is received after your commissioning date you may be required to provide a further reading to be used to register your account.

Feed-in Tariff (FiT) Solar PV Declarations (installations and extensions)All applications for accreditation of new solar PV installations (including extensions to existing installations), with an Eligibility Date on or after 1 April 2012, need to be accompanied by a copy of this document with the relevant section signed and dated. This will then be used by FiT licensees/Ofgem as appropriate to determine whether or not (i) the energy efficiency requirement applies and, if so, has been met; and (ii) the multi-installation tariff rates should apply.

If your application is for a new solar PV installation with an Eligibility Date on or after 1 April 2012, you must sign two of the enclosed declarations; one declaration from the energy efficiency section and one declaration from the multi-installation section. Tick one of the boxes in relation to the energy efficiency declarations and one of the boxes in relation to the multi-installation declarations. Then go on to sign the two relevant declarations.

However, if your application is for an extension to an existing PV installation, you must sign one declaration from the energy efficiency section only. Tick one of the boxes in relation to the energy efficiency declarations then go on to sign the relevant declaration.

Please read the following information to understand which of the declarations are relevant to you.

Energy Efficiency DeclarationTick one of the following boxes in relation to the energy efficiency requirement and sign the relevant declaration overleaf:

The energy efficiency requirement does apply and an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of level D or above has been achieved (complete declaration 1)

The energy efficiency requirement does not apply because my installation is not wired to provide electricity to a “relevant building”1 (complete declaration 2)

The energy efficiency requirement does apply and an EPC rating of level D or above has not been achieved (complete declaration 3)

The energy efficiency requirement does apply and an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of level G or above has been achieved (complete declaration 4) Community energy and school installations ONLY

Multi-installation DeclarationTick one of the following boxes in relation to the multi-installation requirement and sign the relevant declaration overleaf:

The “FiT Generator”2 or “Nominated recipient”3 owns or will receive FiT payments from 25 or more other eligible solar PV installations (complete declaration 5)

Neither the FiT Generator or nominated recipient owns or will receive FiT payments from 25 or more other eligible solar PV installations (complete declaration 6)

The 3 statements below only apply to customers that have received grants:

• The FiT scheme was designed to replace publicly funded grants as a means of encouraging the growth of small scale renewable generation. It is generally not possible for an installation which has received a grant from public funds to be eligible for the FiT scheme.

• The FiT Order prohibits the accreditation of an installation where a grant has been made from public funds towards any costs of purchasing and/or installing an installation.

• If you’ve received a grant and this has been repaid in full to the grant issuing body before applying for accreditation, you must declare the details of the grant on this application form. We’ll ask you to provide documentary evidence of the grant being fully repaid as part of the application process.
