Could someone please just clarify exactly what paperwork I should have had following the installation of a All-in-one system please?

I have an MCS and generation certificate and that's it.

Many thanks

I received a pack containing
Manufacturer's literature for inverter, battery, PV panels, EM115 and PV panel roof fixings
Schematic drawing showing how all components were connected and "joined" into house wiring
Electrical test certificates showing all was connected/wired correctly.
Shutdown/restart sequence sheet

All this should be provided unless your installer is going to do all your maintenance FOC, and take everything apart and dispose of it at end of life.
What happens if you injure yourself when pressing the wrong button?
In UK construction it is a legal/HSE requirement to provide all this stuff so people dont get killed/injured.

Mondriver You will definitely need a G99/G100 approval form that is issued by your DNO - you’ll need this to be able to apply for an export MPAN

Also your installer should have shown you how the system works, given you instructions on shutting down and starting up and what all the different switches are in the gateway

I had a handover pack from my installer that had these things in it, also had the electrical system test certificate, confirmation that I’d paid, a schematic of the setup. It was a bit of a rag-bag of stuff but had quite a bit in it

wrighar Got pretty much the same here. DNO letter arrived later because its G98 but they'd put copies of the G98 notifications to DNO in the pack.

Mondriver Seems to be for Solar + Battery in your setup as you have the MCS.

For just battery (no solar) I got single PDF welcome pack which included Electrical Installation Certificate, Building Reg Compliance certificate, System Schematic, and GIV Energy Welcome Pack. I also received G99 separately.
