[QUOTE="D14, post: 2459022, member: 49382"] Trading in renewable has taken over the installation side of things. 3 companies we have used that were installing things are now basically maintaining systems and also trading in systems. I know of a local 2mw turbine that has sold twice now in 2 years and each time gone up in value. I doubt that one will sell again but its big business. We have been offered 50% of the remaining FIT on a 70kw solar system as a one off payment to sell the system but retain the shed it sits on and also continue to make use of the elec generated. Basically the investor is thinking if I pay 50% of the outstanding FIT I will then make 50% over the next 14 years. If the investor does that 100 times the income generated off the portfolio would easily cover any maintenance things as generally these things are reliable. Conservatively when speaking to them I worked out they were looking to invest about £16.8 million now in established system of about 5 years old. They would then be looking at an annual income of about £2 million per year for the balance of the FIT which is 15 years. Thats without any surplus electricity sales to be account for. On those solar systems panels rarely fail and cabling is installed and in place so the main variable is the inverters which do fail from time to time but having 20 inverters fail per year vs a £2 million income is nothing. Annual cleaning of the systems would be about £50k and system health check about £20k. [/QUOTE]
