Any indication of whether the grants are likely to be cut in 2012 Budget ?
It remains to be seen. As from today, all new grant applications have been suspended until after the budget. Existing grants that already received approval are not affected.
From what I gather, there will no longer be a grant system but they will be offering a payment schedule through your utility company and spread the cost of the installation over a period of time. The repayments will be added to your utility company bill.
