The DECC have confirmed that the next cut to the solar PV feed-in tariff will be delayed from 1st July until 1st August. From that date the tariff for domestic solar installations below 4kWp will be 16p/kWh and the lifetime of the payments will be 20 years to fall in line with similar payments for other technologies. The export tariff will be increased to 4.5p/kWh.
It is expected that the new tariffs will give a return on investment (ROI) in excess of 6% for typical installations – for full information see the DECC press notice
