Feed-in Tariff for domestic Solar PV confirmed until 1st July 2013

The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has announced that the Feed-in Tariff for Solar PV installations less than 50kWp (approx. 200 panels) will remain at the current rate until 1 July 2013. This applies to domestic size solar, with a standard EnergyMyWay Solar PV installation on a 3-bed property being 4kWp (16 panels).

The latest model of Feed-in Tariff cuts allows DECC to reduce the tariff every three months, if enough solar is installed in a three-month period to warrant a reduction. The latest decision not to change the tariff indicates that more installations are needed before the next cut is made.

What are the latest Feed-in Tariff rates?

The following Feed-in Tariff rates are confirmed until 1 July 2013
