Jan FiT cut?

[Energetic]

I've lost track of whats happening with the digressions, is there likely to be a cut in Jan or are we back in the realms of making it up as we go along?

I think its December 31st

I think that Dec 31st cut is irrespective of installed capacity trigger mechanism. Probable March 31st cut too.

The way prices are falling for equipment don't see a problem being short of work

 

[SibertSolar]

No, the FiT is becoming more and more irrelevant, as it should be.....the sooner people think less about ROI and focus more on energy efficiency/management and reduced reliance on the grid, the better imo

 

[jason121]

Still needs to a lot more investment into the grid. My area filling up. We are being asked do to do acres of fields..

 

[SibertSolar]

Agreed. But they wont upgrade fast enough. Many areas are saturated already. We're seeing more and more export limiting solutions being required, whether basic "export limit reached, switch off units" control or more sophisticated closed-loop monitoring and throttling back of the inverters (stepped or proportional control dependent on measured consumption)

I have sent drawings of for approval regarding export to WPD, no reply yet,

WPD have approved a closed-loop monitoring and control system we did recently for a client (sub 50kWp). They are also familiar with the larger-scale closed-loop system we offer with consumption metering and automatic feed-in (export) management via inverter's RS485 comms. Curious - what sort of design concept did you submit?
