News: UK RHI Renewable Heat Incentive Announced = Solar Water Heating Panels Grants Soon!

The “Renewable Heat Incentive” (R.H.I.) subsidy scheme which will be announced soon will include solar water heating!

Call now for the latest news update on solar panel grant tariffs for RHI. 01244 403 407. We know all about the solar panel the grant scene!

The long-trailed Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme will start off later than planned with 80% of its original planned funding. Given the level of cuts landing elsewhere, this is, on balance great news. But where will the 20% RHI subsidy cut come from? Will the RHI consultation figure of 18 pence per kWh of energy over 20 years be retained? We will keep you posted. We expect the actual level of RHI grant to be announced in February 2011 and actual RHI funding to start in Autumn 2011. Hoping that solar heating will finally leap into the mainstream, we will keep you posted. Just send us an email of you want us to stay in touch. Meanwhile here is the relevant government (DECC RHI) website.
