Present FiT rates are -
 
Band (kWp)           Current generation tariff (pence / kWh)
 
≤4kW (new build)
 
 
 
                          21.0
≤4kW (retrofit)                             21.0
>4-10kW                             16.8
>10-50kW                             15.2
>50-100kW                             12.9
>100-150kW                             12.9
>150-250kW                             12.9
>250kW-5MW                               8.5*
stand alone                               8.5*
 
 
In relation to PV systems:
“Retrofit” means installed on a building, which is already occupied
“New Build” means where installed on a new building before first occupation
“Stand-alone” means not attached to a building and not wired to provide electricity to an occupied building

 

The July cuts

 

The DECC is set to finalise FiT rates for the future in the next fortnight. The announcement will include a new, lower FiT rate that will be effective from July 1.

 

DECC’s rationale behind slashing the FiT rate once more is that the scheme was only ever intended to provide a return on investment between 5-8 percent for well located arrays. At 21p, a solar array installed today will provide a better return than that, therefore DECC believes it is justified in reducing the rate once more.

 

However, it is not clear what the effect of the apparent stagnation in installation figures will have on DECC. The rambunctious Cut Don’t Kill campaign is ambitiously calling on DECC to halt the planned cuts, pointing to the installation rates as proof that its policies have gone too far, too fast.

 

It appears that DECC has been presented with an opportunity to prove its support for the UK solar industry with its upcoming FiT announcements. According to installation levels, DECC should be announcing a new FiT rate of 15.7p.  However, those of us that can still maintain a semblance of optimism believe that the current market situation calls for DECC to better incentivise the market by announcing a FiT rate of 16.7p or indeed keeping the rate at 21p. Only time will tell, and in the mean time solar installers need to find ways of getting the market going again to avoid further job loses.
