PeterW Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Wagner Renewables or ask @Nickfromwales who he uses as it seems pretty reasonable what he gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMagic Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Just a heads up - Mark from Wagner is currently working abroad. Full disclosure - I've purchased a system, got an install date later this month so currently neutral towards them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProDave Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I just tried googling "Grid Trade Tariffs Available Through Solar Panel Funding" and it came back with 5 hits, all on foreign facebook pages, and when I followed the link, no sign of this advert.

Nickfromwales Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Wasn’t there some ‘scheme’ where you rent out your roof space? Assume that was when FiT was high ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Those were the "rent a roof" schemes where you leased your roof to a company who paid for the install and collected the FIT. All you got was the free electricity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are still similar schemes for ASHPs. They take the RHI, you get the heat pump to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Harris Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 The problem with the "rent a roof" schemes was that they impacted negatively on property prices. Buyers weren't keen to buy a house where they weren't able to change or remove the solar panels, as they remained the property of the "rent a roof" company. IIRC, the penalty charges for having the panels removed were also pretty punitive. Some of these installations date back to when the FIT scheme ran for 25 years, rather than the 20 years it runs for now (until it's closed to new applications next year).

Important questions to ask the panel company are 1. Does the lease conform to CML (Council of Mortgage Lenders) Handbook minimum requirements? https://www.cml.org.uk/lenders-handbook/solar-panels-and-the-lenders-handbook/ 2. Does the lease contain a valid mortgagee break right which is exercisable on repossession? https://www.cml.org.uk/lenders-handbook/englandandwales/question-list/2115/ 3. Do you have a list of mortgage lenders who have accepted your leases in the past? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got this one today about ASHPs, the web site layout is exactly the same as the one I mentioned regarding solar panels. Same claims about government incentives and cash back etc. http://heatpumpfunding.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
