“In England the Rateable Value is currently set by applying a maximum rate of £8.00 per kWpto an install, therefore a 150kWp install would pay £576 p.a. in business rates. In Scotland the Rateable Value can be anywhere between £200
and £700 per panel, so that same 150kWp install would pay up to £10,080 p.a. in business rates. Both ratings methodologies are under review in
the 2017 re-evaluation.”
