3rd March FIT Cut Off Date
The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has provided vital clarification about the Feed in Tariff available to solar PV installations with an eligibility date that is after 12th December 2011.
DECC have confirmed that installations with eligibility date on or after 3rd March 2012 will be subject to the new Feed in Tariff of 21p/kWh (<=4kWp retrofit).
Installations with eligibility date before the 3rd March 2012 and after
12th December 2011 will receive at the very least the 21p/kWh (<=4kWp
retrofit).
We would encourage all solar PV customers to order their systems in time to make this deadline (and submit paperwork to the electricity supplier). If the government loses the pending legal appeal these installations are very likely be eligible for the 43.3p/kWh high feed in tariff (guaranteed for 25 years).
The eligibility date is the date that your electricity supplier acknowledges receipt of your FIT application. This date is vital and is NOT the commissioning date of the PV installation.
