Deployment caps in 2017

The deployment caps introduced at the start of 2016 will still apply to applications for the FiT in 2017 and moving forward. These caps were implemented to keep the FiT within budget and mean that once a cap is reached no further installations will be eligible for the generation tariff in that quarter and be put into a queue for the next.

In order to benefit from these current FiT rates, your solar PV system must be installed by an MCS certified installer. Solar Guide only works with MCS certified companies, so fill in our quick online form to receive your free, no obligation solar quote.
