Who pays for new home solar generated power ie Feed In Tariff

AncientMariner

Do any suppliers pay FITs for new installations?

I can see from their website that SSE have discontinued the scheme, although will continue to pay FITs to those who signed up earlier.

Thanks

    After installing the PV you can then buy lots of gadgets to use electricity  generated rather than exporting it.

     

    Last week I had a conversation with a husband and wife in which I asked if the bathroom underfloor heating had run off the PV before the bathroom installer hacked it out to make a wet room, because it had a cable running to an ImmerSum unit in the loft next to the hot water cylinder. 

    When they bought the bungalow the gas supply had been disconnected then the PV installed along with an air source heat pump and other “gadgets” to use the generated electricity. All retrofitted into a 1970's without sufficient insulation. 

    The air source heat pump received a four letter review rather than a four star review and the rest of it did not fare any better with a number of expletives being used to describe them and the system. 

    First and foremost the rental property needs good insulation, draught proofing and controlled ventilation, then go from there avoiding the snake oil salesmen.
