Hi everyone,
I am brand new to solar and I am moving into a new house that has an existing solar PV system installed around 2012, which is currently receiving payments under the Feed-in Tariff (FiT) scheme.
I'm interested in maximizing the benefits from the solar panels by installing a battery storage system. However, I want to make sure that any changes won't negatively affect my FiT payments. From what I understand, Ofgem handles these situations on a case-by-case basis.
My main questions are:

My main questions are:
- Has anyone successfully added a battery to their existing FiT-registered solar system and kept their FiT payments intact?
- What type of battery setup would be compliant?
- What steps should I take to get approval from my FiT provider and the DNO?
- Is this sort of thing DIY-able?
- If not DIY-able, any tips on what to ask for when getting quotes from installers?
Thanks in advance!
