Default Another Green Scam?

Unsolicited 'phone caller (English female accent for a change) telling
me of a new "feed in tariff" scheme which pays _all_ my utility bills
_and_ £500p.a. I told her "That's too good to be true" and put the
'phone down. She didn't call back. "We do not have ..." on 1471. But
are they really getting so desperate?

Ignore TurNiP.
It is true. I have PV panels fitted. It pays me five times
expenditure on utility bills.
But I am untypical. But it could certainly generate enough cash to
cover the normal person's utility bills.

Don't despair, there are lots of PV installers. Get a few quotes in.
But it will cost around £14,000 and you need a suitable site.
You need to act quickly, next year it will not be such a good deal.

You dont mind if I forward this to DECC as part of my reason why
domestic FITS should be rescinded immediately?

I wouldn't be tempted to do this as a one-off, but only if
I happened to be replacing the roof anyway, just like I'm
replacing my windows with double-glazing as and when the
windows actually need replacing.
