Leeds Solar are now taking bookings for March installations, with slots available for solar PV installations before any changes to the FIT schemes that may apply from the end of March.

We understand DECC are due to make an announcement about these changes on 9th February, and will update our website with an analysis of these changes as soon as we can.

We have good availability of all stock.

We currently have 100KWp of PV scheduled for installation in February and all our February installation slots are now filled.

To get an idea of our average prices, please check our solar PV Price Guide section. For more information about each system range and energy outputs and rates of return please see the system range pages for Value, High Spec, and Ultra Efficient ranges.

Leeds Solar have now filled all our installation slots for February and are now taking bookings for March installations only.

In the wake of the Court of Appeal's decision to throw out the Government's appeal about the Feed In Tariff cut date, there has been a considerable upsurge in demand for Solar PV installations before 3rd March from customers hoping to benefit from the potential return to the previous 43.3p FIT rate that would apply IF the Government appeal is also rejected by the Supreme Court.

This has led to significant supply problems for some makes and models of panels and inverters.

DECC have announced their plan B for the Feed In Tariff scheme if, as seems likely, they lose their current High Court appeal against the ruling before Christmas that the original 12th December cut off date for the 43.3p FIT rate for solar PV to be changed to 21p was illegal.

A brief overview of the situation as Leeds Solar see it

*UPDATE 5/02/12*

As we predicted, the government lost it's appeal in the High Court, however the Government has since announced it's intention to appeal again to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court have stated that they are unlikely to be able to rule on this appeal for several months, certainly not until after 3rd March.
