Green solar business investment - how it works
Grow your finances with the opportunity to make an annual return of 10%
Investing in one of our solar PV systems offers our own 5-year income protection guarantee and is backed by a 25-year government guarantee. Along with the annual return offering a real alternative to other savings and financial products and pay back periods at typically 7-8 years, it make financial sense.
The Feed-in Tariff (FIT) Scheme
The FIT scheme became available in the UK on 1st April 2010 and guarantees the energy suppliers make regular payments to households that generate their own electricity from renewable or low carbon sources such as solar PV.
The scheme guarantees a minimum payment (currently 41.3p per kWh*) for all electricity generated by your system, as well as an additional payment (currently 3p per kWh*) for any electricity you export to the grid. For the average home this should amount to an annual tax-free income of around £1,000* and government legislation guarantees this for a full 25 years after you join the scheme.
The figures
| Minimum Payment | 41.3p per kWh* |
| Electricity exported to grid | 3p per kWh* | Income (for an average home, tax free) | £1,000* per year (guaranteed for 25 years) |
* These rates apply to solar PV systems installed before 1st April 2012 and continue at this level for a period of 25 years. After 1st April 2012 rates reduce incrementally each year for those joining the scheme but do not reduce further once you have joined.
