Are you not busy ?
Where abouts in the country are you?
What was the thinking behind EPC of D or better to qualify for the FIT?
We had our property EPC'd today.
The Energy Assesor had the same opinion though as like SRE we have a LOT of oil fired properties around here with no mains gas, al lot of old housing stock built in the 30's with no cavity wall insulation, so they struggle to get a D, wheras in his mind it is exactly those properties that would benefit from the PV.. he reckoned it was about face, and the A and B's don't need it .... so the more you need it the higher your FIT should be and make it attractive and easy for those that need it , and not so attractive for those that don't.
I do feel for you chaps, passing an EPC on any of our jobs we get is a given.
I think even if there wasnt this EPC crap, business wouldnt be any better. PV is back to a cottage industry, from 2 week (last yr) now to planning/"hoping" for 1 a month. The mad rushes are getting less and less November was stupidily busy, February was managable, August we're done and dusted although one might come through (pending planning). Some would call it a hobby rather than a business !!
