FiT Levels Update

Feed-in tariff cuts will impact the viability of solar installations

Most people know that you can get paid for generating your own electricity but what most don’t know is how much and what system is needed. Updated for Changes as of April 2012

 

The main benefit of the Feed-In Tariffs is the generation tariff, which is paid for every kilowatt hour of electricity produced. The amount paid per hour is determined by the type of technology and the size of the system. The Feed-In Tariffs scheme also provides two further benefits:

  • An additional payment for surplus energy exported to the grid
  • A saving on energy purchased from your electricity supplier.
Below is a complete listing of Technologies and the Tariff Levels that apply to them
