    And of course, as it is too late to worry about whether to make the dash to install before the FiT reduction in 3 days, you have until the end of June to do your research before the next potential drop in the tariff, so take your time and aim to decide by perhaps the middle May to de-stress the whole process.
  • Thanks for all the help and advices...hopefully like you said, more people from Wirral/ Liverpool will pop in on forum and give their experiences:) On the thread shared here, there is one company listed only, but I will check that as well...and I will keep updating on progress, for now Im looking around anyway as my completion date for house purchase will be 17th of april:)

    Solargen UK are not so far from you and seem to offer good prices, can't vouch for them though.

    You could use the FIT payments to overpay on your mortgage if you wanted.

    Well, that is the plan:)

    I just look on the t.p solar, and they got reasonable prices..start from 4750...but is it any good as an company? And what panels to pick, because for under 5000 there are qcells..are they any good,or diffrent ones from list are more economic in long term?


    Thanks for answers:)
