    Just in case anyone out there hasn't read the consultation proposals from DECC.........25% less FIT on turbines 1.5kw to 15kw from Oct 2012.ie 21p rather than 28.1p.....thats going to add another 1 or 2 years on payback models. Spend £50k and wait 7 or 8 years before you start earning............ummmm..........not sure about that !!
    :cry:

    More to the point Steamy have the manufacturers been keeping prices artificially high in order to try and maintain the FIT figures and consequently will we now see a price fall in install costs to reflect the new tariff.....we'll see !

    When I first started looking at a Gaia (11kW) they were about £25K, then feed in tariffs were announced and the price became (very quickly) £50K. In the USA the Gaia's price didn't change much over that same time, was about 50K US dollars. Make your own minds up.

    Prices have gone up by 50% in the last 2 years then.
    Perhaps that's something to do with reduced competition!:shocked:

    And subsidies skewing the marketplace, suppliers get as greedy as everyone else.:sad:
