Government figures suggest 50% of properties will be able to achieve an EPC rating of 'D' or higher in order to receive the 21p FIT. CTS Solar can get 90% to a level 'D' or higher, or your deposit back.

As of April 1st 2012 all new domestic installations applying for a Solar Photovoltaic feed in tariff will require the property to achieve an EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) of D or above to achieve the 21p FIT rate, otherwise a rate of 9p will apply until level D is achieved.

CTS Renewables  have agreements in place to provide EPC assessments throughout the UK from March. Every assessment will reach a level D with complimentary free measures including cavity wall and loft insulation and discounted energy efficient light bulbs…..or there is no cost to you.

It's a very simple and cost effective solution and if the property can't reach a level 'D' you pay nothing.

Following an initial site assessment by a CTS Renewables surveyor, who can give an indication of EPC compliance and an agreement with the customer on the required Solar PV system, the full EPC will be completed within 7 days and all associated measures within 14 days to allow the complete installation within short time frames. If following the Full EPC assessment a category D rating cannot be achieved, the deposit will be immediately refunded in full.

Alternatively CTS Renewables can arrange for an independent, no commitment, EPC assessment from £60.
