What Is the Feed In Tariff?
The FiT is a scheme that pays people for creating their own "green electricity". The Tariffs give three financial benefits:

Yes, the FiT is available on all Solar PV installations, with variable rates dependant on the system size.
What rate would I receive on the Feed in Tariff (FIT)?
The rates vary according to the size of the system and the type of property where it is installed. Generally, for systems up to 4kW rating installed on an existing property, the FiT rate is 41.3p for every kWh generated.

The rate most commonly paid is 3.1p per kWh exported into the National Grid. This rate may vary dependent on your electricity company.
Will I still receive an electricity bill?

Is the tariff guaranteed for this whole period?
Yes - once you start at a given tariff, it is guaranteed for the full period and is index linked.
