FAQs

Yes, the money you receive for your Solar system and the associated Feed in Tariff entitlement is tax-free and the money will be paid straight into your chosen bank account.

The free electricity from the solar panels will not be affected, and you will continue to benefit from the energy savings!

Yes, you can still sell your property. The panels will stay on your roof for at least the duration of the Feed-In-Tariff term. This means that the new owners benefit from all the free electricity produced, and this could add value to your property.

It is a mandatory process for us to register an ‘Air-Space’ Lease with Land Registry before we can complete the acquisition. If you are in the process of completing the sale of your home, this can hold up the sale of your property as this would need to be completed before any new homeowners move in to your home. It is not in our interest to hold up any potential sale, and therefore, we do recommend that selling your Feed-In-Tariff is not advised. However, if you are looking to sell your home in the near future, then please do speak to our team and we can advise you on the time-frames to complete prior to selling your home so you have complete comfort.

We are open to any system of any size, whether it be domestic, commercial or large scale solar farms. Our dedicated team will provide you a figure based on the length of time the system has been installed, its performance to date and the rate of your Feed-In-Tariff that is being paid.

At Solarfair Investments Ltd we always aim to be fair and transparent. Our valuations are free and you are under no obligation to sell your Feed-In-Tariff if you haven’t yet signed the Solar Buyback Contract. Once you sign your Solar Buyback Contract you have a 14 day cooling off period of which you can choose to cancel should you wish.

If you are happy with your valuation and wish to accept our offer, our team will send you a documentation pack with all necessary paperwork, and you simply need to sign and return those to us. If you need any assistance with filling out the documentation our team will be on hand to help. Once we receive these documents our team will contact you to book a technical survey with one of our experienced surveyors who will inspect the system and confirm the information you have provided. Once we have received the surveyors report, we can process the sale of your Feed-In-Tariff, and on completion, payment will be made directly in to your chosen bank account.

Depending on whether your home is mortgaged or not the process can take between 6-12 weeks from initial enquiry to completion. As part of our process we will manage the paperwork on your behalf, this includes registering your Lease Agreement with Land Registry and seeking the necessary consent from your mortgage provider. Please note that during this time, you will still continue to receive your Feed-In-Tariff payments as normal, until the day we complete the Transfer of Ownership.

We have successfully managed the acquisitions of commercially owned rooftop systems, over 16MW of ground mount Solar PV as well as working with portfolio owners with multiple domestic systems. We are interested in all system sizes, contact our team today and we’ll be happy to assess your requirements.

No need to worry! We will remotely monitor, manage and maintain your Solar PV system throughout the lifetime of its Feed in Tariff at no extra cost to you.

Yes, as part of our Feed-In-Tariff transfer process we do install a new solar PV generation meter. The new meter will allow us to monitor your readings and update us with the systems performance remotely so you should not have to worry about providing future readings. When we install your new generation meter the solar generation will still be assigned to you up until the day we complete the Transfer of Ownership and payment to you.

Yes, should you wish to buy the Feed-In Tariff back from us, we will calculate the amount by applying the remaining FiT income of the term, the current rate of FiT and Export payments linked with inflation, and the current and projected yield performance of the PV System. Should you ever wish to take this action, our support team will be on hand to advise you on this figure.
