Where do these people get this spiel from ? Do they learn it off a

admit that I hadn't heard this one before, and it's reasonably clever

immediately catch the connection, allowing him to get into his stride.


The free lekky bit suggests that its one of these schemes where they
install the kit and and claim all the FIT payments, and you get to keep
the (relatively) worthless juice generated.

The "if you qualify" bit is a classic hook designed to make the punter
feel like there is scope for a deal being taken away from them before
they even get offered it (and folks don't like having stuff taken away
form them even if they did not really want it in the first place). Hence
they are automatically more protective of the deal before they even here
it because it might be withdrawn. Its a better version of "only for a
limited time" or "first n customers" etc. It also nicely ties in with
the point that not all roofs will be suitable.

On a slightly different note though, I came across this today, which if
it isn't being hyped too much for the sake of making a publicity splash,
might show some promise to make the windmills and solar panels a bit
better prospect.

Note to Harry.

You could put yourself up as an enthusiastic test subject and have a
tank put in your garden ... d;-)
