If you are eligible to receive the RHI payments for Hybrid installations, metered energy production needs to be submitted on a quarterly basis. However, gaining access to a property to read the meters can be difficult and costly. Daikin Remote Metering Cloud solves this by offering remote recordings of the information you need to submit the quarterly meter readings.

The domestic Renewable Heat Incentive offers quarterly payments over seven years, based on a set of tariffs according to the type of system installed, which help to offset the cost of installing renewable heating systems. Tariffs will be subject to review every quarter by DECC. Note that only one technology can be installed for heating purposes (AWHP, GSHP or Biomass) plus solar thermal for hot water.
