solar energyplus - best UK solar export tariff

Scottish and Southern Energy will pay to install export meters, obtain ROC accreditation, and act as ROC agents for owners of solar energy systems. At 18p per kWh exported, a system generating 1500kWh per year (equivalent to half the UK average for household energy consumption) will earn £135 per year if exporting 50% of power generated.
