27/1/10 - A New Survey has shown the 3/4 of homeowners would install solar pv or other renewable energy technologies if financial returns were attractive enough.

The Survey of 2100 adults was organised by Friends of the Earth, Renewable Energy Association and the Co Operative Group, highlighting that the proposed feed-in tariff levels are too low and may result in poor uptake amongst homes, businesses and communities.  Germany introduced much higher feed-in tariffs resulting in enormous uptake and a subsequently greener environment.

The announcement of the 'Clean Energy Cash Back Scheme' (feed-in tariff) is expected before the 4th February 2010.  It is hardly surprising that the electricity suppliers are supporting a lowel level of feed-in tariff.
