Feed In Tariff (FIT)Typical Example Of Benefits With 20 kWp Solar PV System: A. Generation income Tariff 13.03p per kWh x Annual generation 18,000 kWh = 2,345.40 B. Export income Earn 4.5p x (estimated at 50% of generated amount) kWh = 405

C. Fuel bill savings Save 10p per kWh x 17,000 kWh = 1,700 Total system benefit per year A + B + C = 4,450.40

Solar (PV) PanelsTypical Investment & Payback 20 kWp Solar PV System

Installation cost ( 32,000) / Annual benefit ( 4,450.40) = 7.2 year payback on investment

The Feed In Tariff lasts for 20 years & all calculations are made without inflation adjustment (which will be made) and increased imported electricity costs. Therefore the benefit total is likely to be considerably more.
