The outcome of the consultation was eagerly awaited by the solar industry due to its initial proposal to slash Feed-in Tariffs by up to 87%. Over 55,000 responses were received and the consultation was viewed as controversial, with strong reactions given by the industry and supporters of renewable energy.

代表关税不是咨询变革中含铅关税的唯一一部分。DECC还提出将零售价格指数（RPI）改为消费者价格指数（CPI）的指数链接，但这尚未向前提出，并将其指数链接留在RPI。

Whilst the generation element of the Feed-in Tariff is affected, the export tariff will not see any dramatic changes and looks set to remain at the current rate of 4.85p/kWh. The below includes the first set of new tariffs and these will continue to see the quarterly digression as usual, up until the closure of the scheme in 2019.

2016年2月8日的新饲料税率

Capacity	FiT Rate (p/kWh)
0-10kW	4.39
10-50kW	4.59
50-250kW	2.70
250kW-1000kW	2.27
>1MW	0.87
Stand alone	0.87

The current Feed-in Tariff of 12.47pp/kWh (based on a domestic 4kWp system) is set to end on 31 December 2015, but the new tariff will not come into effect until the 8 February 2016 due to the Government’s Christmas recess. During this time there will be a 4 week pause, from 15 January to 8 February 2016 which will see no new installations accredited for the Feed-in Tariff, apart from those with pre-accreditation granted before 1 October 2015. Whilst you will still be able to apply for the Feed-in Tariff during this time, your application will be placed into a queue – these will receive the new tariffs and be affected by the deployment caps discussed below.

部署盖将于2016年发挥作用，主要目的是将饲料关税计划限制在100万英镑的总体预算中。这是通过部署帽强制执行的，用于消耗频段，它将彼此独立地工作 - 所以帽子可能会被一个退化而击中，而不是另一个帽子。达到盖子后，在该季度没有任何进一步的设施将有资格获得代税。

DECC will use data from the MCS database to determine when the cap is reached, so the timing of the issue of an MCS certification for a system will be critical.. Installations that miss out on a cap could either be rejected and required to re-submit at the start of the next cap period; or continue to be processed and receive the tariff of the cap they qualify under.

There’s still time to get the current Feed-in Tariff rate of 12.47pp/kWh if you have your system installed and accredited before 31 December 2015. You can获取免费引号来使用我们的简短在线表格与MCS认可的安装程序进行比较.
