  1. The OPA does site assessments to make sure a solar PV system is installed before finalizing the contract. This is extreme paranoia on your part to suggest that people are getting away with scamming the FIT program like this.

  2. Buy one set of panels and other equipment. Install the panels, wire it up, have your site assessment done, disassemble. Monitor solar radiation and return appropriate amount of power to the system. Repeat.
