Solar Equity Release

Hi,


My dad has solar panels on his roof and has had a leaflet offering a lump sum for his feed in tariff.


I assume that if he agrees he no longer gets the money created from the feed, this now company do?


What do I need to know before advising him? Is this a good deal or not?


Any guidance appreciated.


Cheers

    I suggest you go to the 'Green and Ethical' section of this forum and post there with details of PV system including when installed.

    There have been many posts on this subject and without exception the offer has been very poor.

    Also there are implications in granting a company a lease on your roof; especially if the property is to be sold in the 'life' of FIT payments.

    Yes he loses the FIT.
