HE probably will.. but at 3p per unit its not going to be a lot.
There is always the option to buy out the panels and get the fits himself latter. Prices vary so it may or may not be worth doing.
That would require an act of parliament and the government would be condemned as being anti green. Something that isn't likely to happen even if some people around here think it should.
I would not bet on it, especially when its demonstrable fact that such installations cost the taxpayer one way or another a lot of money and do almost nothing to change the actual national carbon footprint.
In short PV paness are at best, only a pale duck egg blue, not green. I.e they are lot better at making profits than reducing carbon.
Viewed from elsewhere, they are a dirty brown. The red of socialism and national cost, with a smattering of green thrown in.
You cant fool all of the people all of the time.
Even if you have managed to successfully fool yourself.
.. and the salesman spent his commission on a 4x4!
Theres a lot want some money off of you to aid the installation cost too.

I know, that's why I asked for pointers to ones who actually paid to "rent" the roof.

"expanding foam alone for fixing UPVC windows in place?"
Don't see the relevance

Almost certainly not. Most of this sort of legislation is done with S.I.s.
i wonder what the terms of the contract are if they get damaged or stolen....
will the house insurers put up the premiums for people with solar panels on the roof, that's if you tell them in the first place,
but say you fall out with a neighbor, who then gets his kids to 'accidentally' lob cricket balls onto the solar array, or even just chuck rocks on them.
what happens when the scrap metal marked comes back down to a sensible level, and it's no longer worth the pikeys trouble going on roofs to nick lead, (or the copper from the cables from the solar panels :) and they turn to nicking the solar panels?
Not much because by that time everyone will realise their true worthlessness.
Depends on if you are aroung during the daylight hours it's producing, as if you aren't the installers will be getting all the benefit and not you, you will be paying regular price for the leccy when you get home from work and have to suffer the following other downsides.
1/ Problems selling your house 2/ Noise from the panels when it rains (which is VERY loud I am told, like living in a conservatory when it's raining).
Are they? This is a serious question; I'm not being sarcastic. Do you consider solar panels not worth the money? If so, I'll think of other alternatives, one being a wood-burning stove. (By the way, I'm no interested in saving the environment, only in saving money. Anything I do that saves me money AND saves the environment, well, that's just a bonus.)

Oh! Oh! No that's something new I learn!

No change to the premium from my insurer.

What makes you think its about saving carbon? Its more likely to be about decoupling our energy supplies from imports. We can't keep importing energy, at some point we have to be self sufficient and solar panels are a way of doing a bit of it without spending government funds. Its not all bad.. you generate electricity when you aren't at home, it gets exported and you use it at work.
I can't hear any difference with mine fitted.

running away from the simple question "how many children do you have?"
Yes, indeed you are, because you run away from answering "how many children do you have?"
Yeah right! By the way, how many children do you have?
Excellent! Did you manage to learn how many children you have, yet?
I cosnsider them not worth the money in terms of Saving the Planet
They can be profitable, but its profit at taxpayers expense..a bit like an MP cooking his expenses.
