October 11, 20188 yr 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.

November 10, 20187 yr The original poste4 asked if solar panels are worth it? according to the latest advertisement on my Facebook feed the answer is YES! New Grid Trade Tariffs Available Through Solar Panel Funding Just Made Solar Even More Profitable. With Absolutely No Upfront Costs, Homeowners Could Receive Up To £18,160 In Incentives & Savings. ? Up to £6,464 Paid directly to your bank account (TAX FREE)? Up to £11,695.50 In electricity savings WOW... where do I sign up?
November 10, 20187 yr 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.
November 10, 20187 yr Wasn’t there some ‘scheme’ where you rent out your roof space? Assume that was when FiT was high ?
November 10, 20187 yr 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.

November 10, 20187 yr 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).
November 10, 20187 yr 16 minutes ago, Nickfromwales said: I could live with that. Can be an issue when coming to sell. 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?
