Solar Panels; your renewable feed in tariff!

Solar panels (PV) are a fantastic way of generating renewable electricity.

Get Cash Rewards for low carbon electricity.

MCS approved installations are now eligible to benefit from Feed In Tariffs (FITs). Note also that the government has introduced permitted development rights for solar panels removing the need for planning permission in many cases.

Try our new SOLAR ELECTRICITY (SOLAR PV) CALCULATOR to work out how much you can save, get paid and payback period for installing solar electricity.

The following table shows the feed in tariffs per kilowatt hour for solar panels installed by True Energy. This rate is paid regardless of whether you use the electricity yourself or export it to the national grid. On top of this rate you will get a 3p export tariff (per kWh) for electricity you export to the national grid.
