    G83 Export to G98/99 Export

    My 4k solar was fitted 2015, issued a G83. Company long gone. System working fine. Looking to swap my export. Only G98/99

    accepted now. Any ideas how to convert/update my certificate please?

    You could speak to your DNO. Mine were very friendly and offered advice over the phone. Even if you get an email to say the G83 is fine to send to the supplier…

    In extremis, do a DIY G98, copying data from your G83

    I had no Gxx from 2011 and SSEN were lovely

      Was this for a Good Energy application export?

      No, I was asking Octopus. But I’m just saying if any supplier is being an a***, there is a workaround,

    Should be easy enough, just contact your FIT supplier and request that you change to actual export, provided you have a smart meter they should be able to make the necessary changes.
