Will the government’s feed in tariff scheme which guarantees a rate of payment for renewable energy sold back to the grid tempt you to install your own solar panels or wind turbine?
Is it now the right time to invest in micro-generation?
P Moore, by email
It would appear that now is possibly the best time ever to consider installing some form of domestic microgeneration, be it solar photovoltaic panels for electricity, solar thermal energy for hot water or even wind turbines in some circumstances.
Well, that’s what the government want us to believe with its recent announcement that feed-in tariffs will commence from 1 April.
But the government hasn’t always got it right in this area – look at the fiasco with domestic wind turbines.
I would be interested to hear readers’ thoughts on all this, particularly if you are considering taking the plunge, or if you have already installed a form of microgeneration at home and wish to share your experience.
