councils sell off all kinds of info, so if there is a building certificate for the work that will probably be available0

I've just received an invitation form "Green Homes Scheme". It claims to offer an upgrade to panels installed under the FIT scheme (which is already very generous). It took me a little while to realise this was a bit too good to be true. I looked up how much a 445 W panel costs (change from £100 each), at least 5 times less than I paid for (245 W) panels at the start of a fledgling solar PV industry. Apart from the fact that the FIT might be affected (worth around 1500 a year for another 11 years), there are issues with how the inverter would handle the extra power.
I'm pleased to see that I'm not alone in having qualms. Any further communication is going straight to the recycling bin.
