Hi
I dont use it personally because I have a system which I am happy with which is compliant and free.
Someone I know uses it and he says it is good but I think it is quite expensive. I believe you sign uo for a year?
Depends on how busy you are I suppose.

It starts at £65 a month and then rises depending how many installs you do

It does seem to cover everything though

Just wondered if anyone had any experience of it - I have a weeks trial of it starting on wednesday to have a play

I have been using the paperclip system since May last year with definitely no complaints. cannot speak highly enough of how simple they have made the paperwork: I passed my MCS no problem using the software and the telephone support was far better than the training i received on an MCS certified course that i paid £1200 for!!!!!!
"Anony999" you are doing the best thing by taking the trial if your not sure that it will benefit your business, however it does everything it says on the tin plus more, and the guys on the tech desk are really tuned in with whats happening within the renewables industry,
I have just signed up for the Solar Thermal add-on which is due out in Feb, as for cost this is insignificant when i value my time far higher than what it costs for them to run my office and ensure I am will compliant to the MCS and NAPIT,

My opinion is you cannot afford not to use it, a couple of guys who I did my training with used telephonebook like system (manual system) was OK for them, but... spending an awful lot of time now trying to catch up, the best thing i peronsonally like about the software is the G83 automatic submission (heaven) no paperwork to fill in for the DNO.

Hope this helps in your hunt for the best way to do it.

Hi Anony999

No problem,

I Did find there latest install's map interesting!
http://pclip.net/web/pvmap/

I found a few of my install's on there, They did give me the option to hide them but i think its harmless interesting information they are showing, give me a great a good idea on the area's which i could market, going to try it and see what happens,

Could be a winner???..

Just remember that it's only showing those using (& paying for) their services.
Case in point; myself having a system installed just before the old cut-off, residing within that great white expanse of East Anglia, above Cambridge. And there's a not unnoticable number of PV panels in the area.

Hello, I have joined this forum after noticing a couple of referrals to us. It's nice to see people discussing PaperClip.

That map is just the customers who are paying for the software, and who have opted in to have their installations shown.
