I was talking to my brother in law the other day, he rents an annexe on the side of a large farmhouse which has solar panels all over one of the outbuildings, when he first moved in the owners asked if he would not use the tumble dryer etc unless he had to, and to replace any blown bulbs for low energy one, ( already fitted ), obviously they were after maximising their return from the panels.
After he'd been their a couple of months the owner actually said to him to use as much electric as he could, strange he thought, but their is a limit on what the companies will buy back from you, and the owners hade easily reached this limit, so had electric to spare, obviously who ever surveyed the job had not done their sums etc. and the owner had bought far too many panels in the first place.
Anyway, as you said, just forget it.

He can sell the excess back to national grid believe they pay 3p per unit tell him to check this out, if he already got it installed and has excess then it's free money for him.

He already sells all his excess back to the grid, but apparently there is a limit as to how much they will buy back from you per installation.
