The feed-in tariff works by offering owners of renewable energy systems of up to 5 megawatts in size money for the electricity produced and also exported to the grid. There are different tariff rates for each technology according to the relative expense of the systems, with solar PV installations receiving the most due to the high cost per kilowatt-hour associated with the technology. One of the main industries to benefit from the FIT is the agricultural industry, which, with large areas of land, can exploit each of the relevant technologies supported by the scheme. Raggatt adds that, in these challenging economic times, the feed-in tariff is kick-starting the UK to moving toward a greener economy, which could spur economic and employment growth if exploited well enough.

I used to live in London and find it hard to believe that Solar is the best renewable energy for the UK. Wind and tidal or wave energy might be the better way to go unless they develop super sensitive solar panels.

This is great news for the industry in the UK and the industry on a global scale. It’s hard to mount an argument against FIT’s, it’s been proven time and again in many countries they make solar a much more attractive investment!
