Those whose solar PV installations are installed before the cut-off date of 12th December 2011 will get the current higher rate of 43.3p per kilowatt hours .
Installations completed between the 12th December 2011 and 1st April 2012 will receive the higher rate until the 1st April 2012, which will then drop to the new lower rate of 21p per kilowatt hour.
Installations completed after the 1st April 2012 will just get the lower rate of 21p per kilowatt hour.
