Are you sure its 43.3p? DECC say otherwise

[deeyup]

I had an email this morning from a solar pv agent guaranteeing 43p for the next 25 years.

There's an advert on the login in page, stating "get the 43p tariff before the tariff change " ????????.

As I see it I can find no legal basis of the FIT rate not being 43.3p up to the 3rd March.
In fact four high court judges have upheld this.

Also it is speculation that DECC will ASK the Supreme Court of leave to appeal, just because they say they will doesn't mean they will do it!

That's true, I wouldn't be surprised if it is dropped after the 3rd march, maybe just a stalling tactic that hasn't worked? I suppose they can way up the costs once all the installs are in and registered, and decide whether or not it is worth taking it to the supreme court?

I don't think it matters what the logic of it is. Huhne and Barking are using tax payers money to shore up their own saggy egos. They just can't accept they're wrong.

The way I see it is it's 21p but customers who have installations before 3/3 have a Chance of 43p, that's what I will say but obviously say the contract is 21p, and they should only sign based on the 21p. !

us too.

We're getting close to being booked solid for Feb having done none at all in January until tomorrow.

You know were i am for the over spill ;-)

Although I agree that it is partly a stalling tactic to minimise installs pre March 3rd, I also think that DECC are desperate to ultimately try and win the case as otherwise they will be crucified by class actions...from installers and consumers alike. Just hope the settlements don't come out of the FiT budget!

i saw in the paper the Dragons den lot,forgot the company are advertising 43p, is it ploughcroft.?, paper was the mail (dad's not mine lol)

 

[dansk]

Yep and online, in fact i noticied two or three Google Adwords displaying 43p, no wonder the customers are confused.

 

[Gavin A]

odd that they're still using 21p in their example calcs on their website then.

Yeah, Ploughcroft. One of their salesmen told me about the advert in the Daily Mail.
I know nothing is concrete but realistically can you see the tariff ending up at anything other than 43.3p currently when the dust finally settles?
