Call them for a quote. I believe they operate across the UK, with a couple of satellite offices. In my case I got the £2500 grant as well (this has just been stopped) so it was a complete financial no-brainer. |

What assumptions did you make about the average number of kWh per day that you could extract from it? What fuel does it displace? How long is the anticipated pay-back period? -- Cheers, Roger _______ Please reply to Newsgroup. Whilst email address is valid, it is seldom checked. |

How long is the anticipated pay-back period? -- Cheers, Roger _______ Please reply to Newsgroup. Whilst email address is valid, it is seldom checked. 1500-1600kWH per year generated from a 2kWp array costing £9k Read this: http://www.yougen.co.uk/selling-elec...y-to-the-grid/ FiT is 41.3 pp kWh this is for all energy generated regardless of whether you use it or it is exported after April. So £600 + income per year (tax exempt by the way) PLUS you you buy less electricity in the first place and that is in effect 10p/unit so another £100 per year (that will reduce as and when the electric co replace my prehistoric meter with a smart one). Even without the grant that's 8% ROI. A no brainer. D |
