Solar PV for Commercial Buildings

Feed-In Tariff
Feed in tariff payments are a Government Incentive to encourage the uptake of Solar PV. You receive a payment for every kWh your Solar PV system generates whether you use it within your business premises or not. The payment rate rises with inflation and payments are received for 20 years. Any energy you do not use is exported back to the grid and you may be able to claim the Export Tariff. The combination of energy savings and feed in tariff payments provides excellent returns on investment.
