As I’m sure you’re aware, there are substantial financial benefits (if not aesthetic ones) to installing solar panels through a combination of cheaper power and an additional feed-in tariff  payment guaranteed by the government.

Although the details have yet to be finalised, it looks almost certain that the tariff (which is guaranteed for 20 years) will be slashed by over 60% in January.

I won’t bore you with the nuts and bolts here, (if you’re interested it’s easy enough to find them online)  but the important thing is this – if you’re considering installing solar panels, you need to get it done and signed off before January. That way your feed in tariff will be guaranteed for 20 years. Leave it any longer and it probably won’t be worth it.
