> If I increase the power output of the system then the additional capacity will not be eligible for the feed-in tariff and will revert to present-day prevailing tariff which is about 4x worse before you even consider that I currently get to use electricity and still get paid for generating it.

> This is the yin and yang of market-distorting incentives. Today's incentive to install solar becomes tomorrow's disincentive to upgrading it.

I am not sure what author is trying to hint. But solar does not need artificial subsidies, and can pay for itself!

There are no subsidies in UK! Homeowners get so much money, because of all that sunshine and wind energy, their house generates! UK goverment just run out of money, when energy got expensive!

UK goverment needs to step up, to replace gaz with renewables!

You can not expect homeowners to sell energy bellow market price!
