what percentage is is the rise in FIT payments this year?2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.

1.333 O's.
64% of PVGIS for March. Needed 26 O's more to have made it.
Edit: ajbell, you'll go to 15.46p/kWh and 5.24/kWh for your export rate (I'm assuming that like most you get export rate for 50% of your generation)
Second Edit: Your install date shows your rate to end of play today should be 12.94p/kWh. I think you must've had your rate increase information...2.88 kWp System, SE Facing, 30 Degree Pitch, 12 x 240W Conergy Panels, Samil Solar River Inverter, Havant, Hampshire. Installed July 2012, acquired by me on purchase of house in August 20170 -
