Thanks for the comment and I actually totally agree with your point. Having a limit at all should be unnecessary really but may be required politically.

If the UK had a useful simple and effect tariff system such as in Germany things would be much simpler.

What is wrong with 50kWp as the upper limit?

Why shouldn’t people be able to sell their excess micro generated power back to the National Grid at the consumer price and make money?

It is actually very difficult - probably impossible - to match the large power company consumer price when using a fossil fuel to generate power. So we are not going to see people hooking their diesel generators up to the National Grid and making money. Only people using so called renewable power sources such as wind or hydro power will actually be able to profit from such a scheme - and if that reduces our national carbon footprint, we would all benefit.

Comment on Increasing interest in home renewable power generation by Micro-Generation of Wind Power - An Introduction - Solar Wind - Micro Power Generation

[...] Visibility of the uptake and use of the micro-generation of wind power Goverment support Goverment support is present in that grants are available to support the installation of wind power generators, some details of which are mentioned here. At the local goverment level there is the potential for driving the uptake of micro-generation of power by changing the requirements for new housing developments. Local goverment can also support installations by clarifying the planning laws. However although the application of the above is being applied it is very variable, and nowhere is it as advanced as it perhaps should be. However education and businesses seem to be the main focus of goverment at present. The onus therefore is on the individual to move things forward. The Business Case If micro-generation is to become widespread the value to the individual needs to be clear and this will be the subject of a later full article. Technologies The required technologies certainly exist with a significant number of companies manufacturing small wind power turbines in the UK alone. This of course increases dramatically if you expand your search outside of the UK. There are a number of different technical approaches being developed for wind power and these will also be the subject of a full article.
