Great Job there Richard, I have Solar PV panels on my properties rented to tenants, its win win for me as I receive the Feed in tariff (at its highest rate was around 50p per unit) and the tenants pay a higher rent but receive the bonus of cheap electric. The FIT payments are tax free also, just filed one FIT today 1400 units generated at around 50p unit will give me £700 ish tax free.
I do want to help the tenants with perhaps a solar switch that switches on the electric immersion tank/copper cylinder on when the higher 2-3kilowatt is generated, any recommendations.
I've been a responsible land lord and only increased rents by 5% this year and despite economic circumstances do want to look after those in my properties as some are young families.
