It's the whole of one roof pitch.

It' s a steel frame. If I rush ahead and get the roof on befpore the walls I can (just) get it running before March. So just before the FIT changes are likely to happen. Or I can wait and do the roof at the appropriate time in the project - less stress perhaps.

I'm worried that if I leave it the FIT will criteria will shift and not in my favour.

Anyone got a crystal ball? What do folks think/guess is likely to happen when the FIT is reviewed?
What would you do?]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=7631&Focus=113868#Comment_113868 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=7631&Focus=113868#Comment_113868 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 16:17:08 +0100 SteamyTea https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=7631&Focus=113870#Comment_113870 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=7631&Focus=113870#Comment_113870 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 17:47:19 +0100 ted
My crystal ball clearly says the rates for new installs will come down in April.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=7631&Focus=113938#Comment_113938 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=7631&Focus=113938#Comment_113938 Sat, 30 Jul 2011 09:20:46 +0100 Brianwilson http://www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/Resources/Energy-saving-news/Renewable-energy2/Renewable-Heat-Premium-Payment-a-stopgap-before-RHI
Can anyone explain logic in subsidising use of biomass fuel when DECC confirm it will require 90% import and we are aware combustion degrades air quality , increases NHS costs plus availability relies on future weather,pest and disease impact?.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=7631&Focus=113942#Comment_113942 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=7631&Focus=113942#Comment_113942 Sat, 30 Jul 2011 10:47:27 +0100 dimengineer I'm kind of in favour of biofuels, but not the stupid way in which the whole thing is moving - yes, grow willow on a few hundred (thousand??) acres around a small thermal power plant - yes, use waste from crops to make energy. But to chop down trees several countries away to ship and burn in Britain? pleaasssseeee....]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=7631&Focus=114066#Comment_114066 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=7631&Focus=114066#Comment_114066 Tue, 02 Aug 2011 09:38:43 +0100 YouGen-Cathy https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=7631&Focus=114069#Comment_114069 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=7631&Focus=114069#Comment_114069 Tue, 02 Aug 2011 10:06:24 +0100 ted https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=7631&Focus=114103#Comment_114103 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=7631&Focus=114103#Comment_114103 Tue, 02 Aug 2011 15:51:34 +0100 jamesingram With current install prices giving 10-12%+ simple return .Once you calculate the return after invested sums recovered its more like the 5-8% suggested]]>
