Re: Can anyone do 7+7 Panel (250/245Wp) 3.5Kwp Install under 10k in North West London
The levy on Energy bills is a tax on the amount of energy you use, CCL is designed to promote energy efficiency and encourage investment in energy saving equipment etc is approx £12/household/yr THis levy is also subject to VAT so no change there for government TAX on TAX
Of which less than £2 is going to FIT, of which £0.34 is VAT
The impact assessment shows that delaying the cuts to incentives until April next year, as had been anticipated by solar firms, would result in an increase in installations. But it also calculates that those extra installations would lead to an increase in average annual energy bills in 2020 of just £3.30 to £4.20, again assuming that the government's proposed energy efficiency standards are introduced for future solar installations.
Solar industry insiders said that the impact on energy bills of delaying the proposed changes until April next year would therefore range from just 10p at the lowest end of the government's estimates to £1.60 at the high end, compared to the estimated impact of the current proposals.
Taking the mid-point of the government's estimates for the two scenarios the likely increase in energy bills from delaying the proposed changes until April is 85p a year.
"The assessment shows that, if there is the political will to find a compromise, we are talking about peanuts to pay for it," said one industry source. "DECC hasn't done the modelling for it, but the assessment suggests that, if there was a sensible delay that gave firms more time to prepare, the impact on energy bills in 2020 would be around 20p to 30p a year."

SO government misinformation is blaming Solar PV for Rising bills when the government could cut the VAT on the Levy and kept the scheme going to April and no poor pensioners would be hard hit or are hard hit.
Yes it is disproportionate for their energy bill than a Bankers but then change the government policy on CCL and how it is applied and not applied to business or wealthier higher energy bill payers electricity bills. Why is it Poorer people pay more for electricity when they consumer less than big users.
Get you facts straight and take you sob story of a PV request to someone who cares, cheapest isn't necessarily best and neither is expensive a reflection of best, but we live in a capitalist society and prices fall and prices rise and past performance is no guarantee of future prices.
