That means that if your roof is shaded and you want to club together with others in the same position and install a system on the local RSL (for example) there is nothing to stop you getting the FIT and sharing the rewards.<\/p>\n<p>Or if you live in units, you can get a shared system on the roof of the unit block.<\/p>\n<p>The Feed In Tariff will be applicable for systems up to a whopping 30kW, so it becomes quite an interesting investment proposition in today&#8217;s volatile market.
