“Earn a return of between 9% and 15% guaranteed for 25 years.”

Investing in Solar PV systems for your house or commercial property offers very attractive returns because of the government backed Feed in Tariff Scheme. More details can be found below:

What are Feed in Tariffs

Feed in Tariffs are payments made to anyone who owns a renewable electricity system, and are based on the amount on electricity generated. They are applicable to both households and business, in fact pretty much all property owners.

The Tariff started on the 1st of April 2010. However, installations that were completed between July 2009 and 1st April will also qualify for the incentives.

How much is Paid?

For an existing property looking to add a solar PV system, the rate is 41.3p/KWH (Kilowatt hour), for a system less than 4KW in total. Most house owners will fall into this category.

Compare this to what you would averagely pay normally for 1 KWH – around 15p, you can see that these incentives are considerable.

Plus, you will receive 3p/KWH for each unit that you export back to the grid.

And, you will get free electricity during the day.

 

For detailed information, see our tariff table.

What kind of Return Can I expect?

This really depends on how much of the electricity that you generate during the daytime you will use, because normally you would pay for this electricity, but after going solar your daytime electricity will be free.

In any event, you will receive 41.3 pence for every Kilowatt Hour of electricity you generate, whether you feed in into the grid or use it yourself...

Yes, you actually get paid for the energy you use!

Typically, you can expect a return on your investment of between 9% and 15% depending on where you live and how much electricity you use during the daytime.

In practice that means you should earn back the capital cost at least two to three times over the duration of the tariffs.

How long do the Tariffs Last?

For Solar PV Systems, they are guaranteed for 25 years.

When do they start?

Tariffs became payable in April 2010. All qualifying systems installed now are eligible.

Is the tariff fixed for this whole period?

 

Yes - once you start at a given tariff, it is guaranteed for the full period shown above and is index linked.

How does the index-linking work?

Each year the set level of the generation and export tariffs will be adjusted pro-rata to the retail price index. The Tariff adminstrators will publish the updated tariff levels.

Do the tariff levels ever change?

 

For those who are already registered, tariffs will only change in accordance with the index-linking described above

For future entrants who are not yet registered, tariff levels might change:

·         When the scheme is reviewed (every five years, but the first one to take effect in 2013), or

·         Subject to the principle of degression
