Hi everybody
I've just registered to this forum although I have used it many times as a learning resource whilst studying for my 2330 Level 2 and 3 which finishes July 2013 (without an NVQ)
I would deeply appreciate any information as to the current situation (post Feb 1st 2013) with...
just some info to pass on.(thanks to NICEIC for the info)
Its regarding the 6th April 2013 deadline to apply to the register with just 17th Edition exam pass.
In case anyone was unsure what was required by applicants after the deadline.
Today I messaged NICEIC online chat enquiry with the...
Okay, in this recent window we have installed a grand total of - 14 jobs.
It doesn't take an expert to work out that we can't go on at that rate. This new rate could well finish us off.
I'm not a great salesperson - I don't like bull**** and I always tell our customers the truth. But I'm no...
Interesting to see the amount of Installations since April. What do you think will happen to the market in August with the proposed 20 year tariff at 16p?
How long can the market continue to survive on these cuts,and do you think that panel prices will continue to fall or have they now hit there...
I've just spent the evening analising the Solar PV capacity figures for March and April to see what they would mean if DECC stick to their proposals for basing the level of FIT cuts scheduled for the end June / Start of July on these installation figures.
Bluntly, it's not looking good, with...
Got this in an NICEIC email today:
NICEIC and ECA have welcomed the Communities and Local Government Select Committee report into Building Regulations.
After hearing evidence from the electrical contracting industry, the Committee says it cannot support deregulation of the building regulations...
My analysis of data recently published by DECC and OFGEM shows that the spend for currently installed PV systems will run to around £450 million in the current year (April 2012 - March 2013).
This is against DECC's adjusted 'budget' for FiTs of £235 million and doesn't include any allowance for...
Hi All,
I've just been told by a local planning officer that a new set of rules concerning solar will be enforced from the 6th April. Unfortunately she said she did not have the new set of rules yet. Does any of you know know where to access them? How will our life change after the 6th April?
For those on 43p I understand there will be an indexed linked increase in the rate 1st April.
Do you have to give a meter reading on the 1st April?
Do they calculate your FIT payment pro rata?
Do you get the new rate for all generation since last quarter?
I know it amounts to next to...
Why am i not surprised and what the hell do we tell any farmers/commercial clients who may come knocking in the next couple of weeks????!!
"A spokeswoman for Ofgem told BusinessGreen that the release of the guidance is imminent, but it will not be published before the rules come into effect...
Can the EPC be carried out by the surveyor of the MCS company, assuming they are also a qualified DEA, I am sure I read somewhere that the EPC should be produced by an independant person/entity. If so it would be a waste of time me training for the DEA qualification?
(I also noticed on the...
Hi,
Could someone point me in the direction to the official Ofgem RPI FIT % increase as at 1st April. Will the new rates as proposed from 12th December 2011/ 4thMarch 2012 be subject to the same increase. Eg 21p (0-4kWP) 21xRPI increase ? I understand that the 43.3p will increase as from 1...
