The basics:
1) Mum had a PV system installed in 2011
2) Mum died last December and I am an executor of her estate on which probate has not yet been granted.
3) It transpires that the PV installation was done incorrectly (discovered on Friday) and although it produces electricity it has been wired so that none of it is made available to the house without first going through the normal consumption meter(i.e. she has not had any ‘free’ electricity which is probably the main reason for having it fitted).
4) Installing company has admitted the error and is going to rectify the wiring.
I want to claim compensation for the electricity that was not made available to the house (Gov assumes 50% of all generated electricity is used by the house, so that is what I’m claiming – about £475).
Installing company has stated that it will not entertain any claim as my Mum is dead and her contract was with her.
I think they owe compensation to mums estate as the house is still in her name. If I went to a small claims court would I stand a chance?
