Hi Everyone I'm working on a big job and we've got a solar system built into the hot water supply. We've had an outrageous quote and they've said they only connect the last meter of pipe work and we must do everything else. I'm wondering why we can't do it all ourselves and if it needs certification, does it need signing off like gas work does? One of my colleagues said the building inspector normally checks his and he's not passed any exams or got any qualifications. the solar array is already in place and most of the pipe work too. it would be much easier for us to connect the final parts up ourselves as we've been given a schematic drawing from the architects and all it is is basically a 3 port valve and a pump attached to the heat dump fan which is already piped and in place..... Any solar experts who can help???

[ASIDE: I did wonder if this was the best forum for this but figured as it was a boiler related issue that the gas engineers would be dealing with it as a matter of course. If I'm wrong can someone let me know and I'll shift it to a better place.] I have a condensing boiler installation...
