One of my former bosses had a company doing precisely this, using small embedded systems, although them mostly to track generation for the various incentives (and to give people something pretty to look at). I met up with the guy building these to see if I could contribute to some of the work, I can put you in touch if you like. My understanding was that new FIT applications cease, but the existing installations are paid till the equipment is 20 or 25 years old (depending which date it was enrolled). -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
