Grants for heat pumps

Hi

If I've read the latest communication correctly, it looks like RHI will effectively pay ~£1500 (over 7 years) towards a large solar thermal system which will likely cost somewhere between £3k & £5k (and possibly considerably more)

Think you can guarantee that if there's such a good payback that the prices would jump somewhat considerably:eek:

Hi

If I've read it correctly, the £1500 would be total over 7 years, not per year .... the issue is that there's effectively insufficient payback to encourage anyone to invest in solar thermal technology, especially whilst pv is comparatively generous ....

Hi

I really do agree that a small & efficient Air/Air heat-pump setup would be far more appropriate to look into installing to complement a typical domestic-scale pv system, especially so considering that it has the added advantage of providing summer cooling when necessary as well as heat provision in Spring & Autumn ...

I'll open a separate discussion thread for this combination ...

Zeupater,

My bad, didn't really read it properly. At least you'll hopefully get something back from your solar thermal that you weren't expecting. Better than nowt
