    Hi Swest

    Yes its a bit tight but we are booked into July and have placed orders very early to secure equipment.

    Its the Germans again extending their FIT by two months, it should ease off a bit in May.

    Stugadget, just out of interest do you charge 17.5% or the lower rate of 5% as mentioned on the HMRC website?

    5% as long as its domestic.

    You must have some very rich customers if you have been putting 17.5% on their invoices !

    Do solar panels count under the permitted development planning inside the low emission zone ?

    Ive got a job in 2 weeks where a builder needs a 1.8KW system in as his place failed EPC test and this was a cheaper way to get over it than ripping out walls and adding more insulation.
    Im not big enough yet to supply my own materials individually so i got a kit via CEF. BP solar panels,the lot for £6000 inc VAT which i think is pretty good..i hope this is the first of many....Like your web site Stuart !

    Impressive that anyone thinks solar generation is feasible in the uk. So easy to jump on the environmental bandwagon to make some easy money.
