The government has implemented a Carbon Reduction Commitment Energy Efficiency Scheme (CRC EES) that will pay for the electricity generated and exported by a photovoltaic system. The credit given for the electricity will be guaranteed at the same rate for 25 years. No matter what type of building you own, installing a photovoltaic system on it will make you money!
The generation credit levels are as follows:
|
Scale (kWp) |
Proposed Initial Tariff (p/kWh) |
|
< 4 new build |
36.1 |
|
< 4 retrofit |
41.3 |
|
4 - 10 |
36.1 |
|
10 - 100 |
31.4 |
|
100 - 5000 |
29.3 |
|
Stand Alone |
29.3 |
A bonus credit of 3 pence per kilowatthour will also be awarded for any electricity that a system exports back into the mains.
