3. Grid Connection
Box that takes the solar electricity to the national grid

THE TARIFFS AND HOW THEY WORK
You want to reduce your carbon footprint and your energy bills, become more self-sufficient in energy, and earn some extra income. The Feed-In Tariffs are a new Government-backed measure to make it worth your while to produce renewable electricity. There are three separate ways that the Tariffs help you make money from generating your own energy:
The Generation Tariff:
You earn a fixed income for every kilowatt hour of electricity you generate.
The Export Tariff:
You earn an additional fixed income for every kilowatt hour of electricity you generate and sell back to the grid.
The bit you still buy from your electricity supplier:
When you can’t generate enough electricity for your needs (if the wind don’t blow and the sun don’t shine) you still buy electricity from your utility company at the normal rates but it’ll be much less electricity than you currently buy.
