At those prices I'd definitely be doing it myself with 'direct labour'. It's amazing no company has come in with installs for 20k, there would be loads of profit still, and they would get many more customers. It's interesting the rebat is a % and not a per Kwp amount. Because 26% of 70k is 17k, which as a fixed amount is actually enough to cover the full install (at non rip of prices). So the govt could fund solar install up to (say) 10kwp fully, regulate the price to 17k, and the homeowners pay 0. Solar would be everywhere. It seems wasteful to spend the money and get less back for it, which is what is happening now.
