Energy Performance Certificate
(EPC)
New rules on the payment of the Feed-in Tariff (FITs) for solar PV installations are coming into force on 1st April 2012. From that date you are required to send to your FITs supplier an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) showing that your property has an EPC band D or better at the time of your application to receive the standard rate of FITs of 21p/kWh (for a system under 4kWp) rather than the lower rate of 9p/kWh.
. If you do not already have an Energy Performance Certificate for your building you will require an assessment from an authorised Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA).
The cost of an EPC varies, but is usually in the region of £50 to £100 plus VAT. You may want to request an estimate from an EPC provider before commissioning an EPC.
