The Feed in Tariff is a government scheme based on a German model, designed to promote and incentivise the installation of renewable energy systems that produce electricity, by paying people for every kilowatt they generate.
Current technologies in the FIT are:
- Solar PV
- Hydro Electricity
- Wind Turbines
- Anaerobic Digestion
By far the easiest and most popular technology in the FIT is Solar PV. Installation is possible in a vast majority of properties, regardless of size and can be generating a 9-11% return on investment (ROI) within minutes of the final system commissioning.
Here is a chart to show what successfully qualified systems will be paid per kilowatt hour, and for how long:

The majority of isoenergy's FIT eligible installs are systems below 50kW. There are two major criteria for these systems to qualify.
MCS Certified Equipment
Installed equipment must be certified by the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS).
Isoenergy ensures that we only install MCS accredited equipment whenever possible. This includes the vast majority, if not all, of our solar PV systems.
MCS Accredited Installer.
The installer must be accredited under the MCS scheme as well. Isoenergy is a fully accredited member of the MCS scheme.
Isoenergy will also help advise and assist with any extra forms or applications required by the FIT scheme to make your installation run as smoothly as possible.
