Feed-in Tariffs
In April 2010, the Government backed feed in tariff (FiT) started. It is a cash back scheme paying a premium rate for electricity generated from renewable sources such as solar PV. This generation rate will be paid on all electricity generated by a certified system even if it is used at the site. An additional export rate will be paid for any surplus electricity that is exported to the national grid. The FiT scheme significantly reduces the payback period for solar PV systems and the net income can be reliably predicted.
To obtain the maximum FiT rate, buildings must meet energy efficiency criteria resulting in an EPC grade D or higher and the current Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) must be supplied with the FIT application.
