Current solar PV FiT rates for 2011 installations?

Can I just confirm I'm correct in saying that the current FiT for installs in 2011 went up to 45.4p on 1st April?
Also, the export is 3.2p of which you can take 50% off and add it to the FiT, giving a total of £0.47/kWh from April 1st this year?

I assume any new installs during early 2012 also receive this rate, but I'm not sure of the cut-off date?

Cheers,

    That's the figure I thought too.

    Think cut-off date was 6th March.

    The cut off date was for installs before 3rd March i think.

    Hi I use this site to remotely monitor my PV via a Webbox. I note that the rate has not changed and is still set at £0.4301. Does anyone know if I change this rate to the new value will it affect the existing calculations?

    On the Sunnyboy monitor it is a fixed rate for the entire history. So the "total income" value will get ever more inaccurate as the years go by.
    I don't know how the web box works but suspect it may be the same.
    Ideally you would export energy output to a spreadsheet for accurate historical reporting.
    JsunnyReports is also a good reporting tool to use.
