Want To Make Sure You Qualify For Maximum Payments?
Use the information below to see if you qualify for maximum payments under the FIT or RHI schemes
Energy Performance Certificate
To take advantage of the UK governments feed in tariffs (FITs), you need to ensure that your home meets the minimum energy efficiency requirements.
Your property will need an energy performance certificate.
An energy performance certificate, or EPC, is a measure of how energy efficient your propery is. The energy efficiency score runs from “A” to “G”. “A” being the highest. To qualify for FIT payments, your property must have a band of “D” or higher.
If your property falls below this, all is not lost. You can take a number of measures to improve your energy efficiency rating. Your energy efficiency will also have an impact on how much you benefit from FITs and how much you reduce your carbon footprint by.
How Do I Get An EPC?
Can I Install Solar And Get A New EPC Rating?
You can install solar panels or other energy saving technologies to improve your EPC band. However, you should ensure that you have taken at least simple steps like increased insulation to get the most benefit from your investment. You should also be sure that the company carrying out your installation is certied by the appropriate bodies.
It can be a bit of a mine field trying to understand EPC’s, FIT’s HIR’s and the technological choices. Why not let Sussex Energy Advisors explain the processes to you in plain English.
