    Can I just ask......does anyone know whether all this solar energy actually does go back into the grid to be used by someone else?

    I recall reading some time ago that in many areas the grid wasn't capable of accepting / using it......but maybe things have changed?

    Also, when they reduce the FIT do they ever do it retrospectively or do you keep the level that you had when the panels were installed?

    Yes, it does, that is why there is such a low limit on what we can produce.

    Larger installations may need the local infrastructure to be improved to handle the KWs, so need approval first.

    And as TG said, your FIT is fixed according to when your panels were installed.
