Installers are at the bottom end of the pile in the Green Deal Process as far as I can see. GDP's are the kings and wil have their preffered installers.

I may be wrong here, however having spoken to a few GDP's, as I undertand it, if you pass a project up to a GDP they have no specific obligation to pass the work back to you.

Hence the all in one shops will win , Tesco through Enact, British Gas etc, if you are part of the Grafton setup, then of course they will (so long as you buy the products from them) however I think you need to have thrree GDP quotes , so the other two may not want you..
 
I am still following this, just not actively working in the industry at present,
But here is one of my issues with the Green Deal, why is anybody going to go for the GD at 7.5%, (this was the figure being bounced around, and I am aware it does depend on where your GD is funded from(clear as mud that part) )
when it puts a charge against the property(MPAN) which will then make it very difficult to sell, when the alternative would be to borrow the money at what 3.5%? which the customer could put on a mortgage or have a secured loan, therefore keeping full title of his property.

Please tell me anyone, as a business would you borrow money at 7.5% with complications when you borrow it at 3.5% or less without the ties?

Of maybe I am missing something here?

now they will take into account the feed in tariff lol
 
Are you still looking for a qualified GDA? Domestic or Non-Domestic? I am a qualified Non-Domestic GDA if that is of any use to you.

eagle comic from when i was about 4.
 
He looks like the Green Spiel advisor passing through our neighbourhood the other day, driving a spaceship, complaining about how busy he was visiting all the Mekons filling up his order book.
I asked him his name and he replied Gregor Barker, Lord Of The Treens.
He said the Green Spiel has imploded his business, errm I mean exploded.
But quite where it has exploded to is anyones guess...
