    When a system has been registered for the FIT it is locked into the current rate.  The tariff is guaranteed for a set period of time, which in the case of solar PV will be 25 years.

    There will be no cap on the amount of generation that will qualify for the FIT.

    Although solar thermal microgeneration is not included in the FIT, the consultation period for the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) has begun.  Kicking off in April 2011, this scheme will guaranteed payment to homeowners who install solar hot water.  For more information on this, see our Renewable Heat Incentive page.
