Rates for PV-generated electricty have just risen again.

The 2 best offers for exported rates of electricity generated by PV panels are:

* Scottish and Southern Energy – now give 28 pence per unit exported. This is the best if you don’t use a great deal of electricity. * Good Energy – now pay 15 pence per unit generated. This is the UK’s ‘greenest’ energy company, and the best deal on offer if you don’t think you will be exporting much electricity, or if you will be using a high percentage of what you generate. This allows PV to give a return on investment of up to 4-6% – better than many less stable investments. This will further rise when the feed-in-tariff comes into force in April 2010.
