What the electricity benchmark does to your payback
When Ofgem's non-domestic benchmark moves, the seven-year breakeven heuristic moves with it. We show the arithmetic rather than the headline.
The Brief · first Tuesday of every month
Commercial solar, clearly.
One short email a month with the numbers, the policy shifts, and the quiet bits installers don't volunteer. For UK SMEs evaluating solar — written for finance directors, not marketing departments.
What's in it
The kind of thing you'll get
Capital allowances — the bit installers underplay
Full AIA still applies to commercial solar through 2026/27. The structuring decisions that actually change the number.
Accreditation, and which one to insist on
MCS and RECC are not the same thing. What each actually covers, and which one protects a business buyer when things go wrong.
The Brief is new — the first issue goes out on the first Tuesday after launch. Subscribe and you'll be on it from the start.
Independent
We don't take installer money. The Brief picks what's true over what's flattering.
One a month
Not a drip campaign. One considered email, first Tuesday, that's it.
