Money from generating your own energy
How The Tariffs Make You Money
There are three separate ways that the Tariffs help you make money from generating your own energy:
-
The Generation
TariffYou earn a fixed income for every kilowatt hour of
electricity you generate whether you use yourself in your property or export it to the grid. -
The Export
TariffYou earn an additional fixed income for every kilowatt hour of electricity you sell back to the grid.
-
The bit you still buy from your
electricity supplierWhen you can’t generate enough electricity for your needs (if the wind don’t blow and the sun don’t shine) you still buy electricity from your utility company at the normal rates but it’ll be much less electricity than you currently buy.

Not True ‘Feed-In Tariffs’
8th February 2016:
The ‘moratorium’ ends and the Feed-in Tariffs are open for business again. Read about the implications here and a retrospective blog here.
A Quick Example On The Fits
If a household installed a 2.5kW solar
system, the Feed-In Tariffs would provide
the following benefits:
In a typical location in South central England this system should generate about 2,125kWh each year, earning a
generation tariff of about £330 a year[1], tax-free; plus
If, say 1,500kWh is used in the home this would save a further £210 per annum if electricity costs are 14p/kWh; plus
The remaining 625kWh would be exported, earning about £30 under the export tariff.
[1] Nov 2012 to Jan 2013 installations at higher rate
[2] Because most houses without export meters receive the export tariff for 50%
of the generation – about £50.
