From the pages of The Guardian website in July 2009, came a report on the Governments announcement of illustrative figures for Feed-in-Tariffs.
"After months of deliberation, the UK government has announced a range of illustrative figures for feed-in tariffs (FITs), which it's calling a Clean Energy Cashback scheme. FITs are fixed payments made to the owners of small generating stations for the electricity that they export to the grid. Micro-generators need high payments to justify their expensive investment in buying and installing green generation."
The Guardian's report makes an interesting case for Wind power being a better return on investment than Solar Panels, depending on where you live etc, and assuming the proposed figures become a reality of course.
