The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) is a UK Government scheme set up to encourage uptake of renewable heat technologies among householders, communities and businesses through the provision of financial incentives. You can claim for:

Domestic payments are made for 7 years and are based on the amount of renewable heat made by your heating system.
The Domestic RHI tariff rates are as follows for the period 01/07/16 – 30/09/16:
Biomass boilers and biomass stoves – 4.68p per kilowatt hour
Air source heat pumps – 7.51p per kilowatt hour
Solar thermal – 19.74p per kilowatt hour
A feed-in tariff is a measurement of every unity of electricity you generate with your solar panels. You get paid an amount for every unit of electricity you generate, whether you use it or not, for the first 20 years of your solar panel installation.
4.25p per kilowatt hour (KwH) is the current feed-in rate. (to 30/09/15)
You get paid this amount for every unit of electricity you generate, whether you use it or not, for the first 20 years of your solar panel installation.
An export tariff is an amount of money paid when electricity is generated by your solar panels that is not used within your house; is instead exported to the grid for others to use. The Government pays you for generating that supply, for the first 20 years of your installation.
