Massive?😂😂😂😂😂

nickhedley Aimed at people who don't pay tax, luckily if you have a cash business you can claim a 100% rebate.

'Massive' 😂🤡 That's not even the VAT on just my batteries. What is massive is the scale of failure in gutterment and eksdom to actual paying customers... 😉👌 A$$hhHoooles 🌺

What a joke.

Pays for 3.5 panels at the current rate....

Massive? Er, that’s a NO!

What a joke. 15k max rebate on 150k+ installation. Sorry for you if your installation was last week or before.

I assume 'massive' is sarcasm

Nothing MASSIVE about it!! Only panels, only 25% of said panels and ONLY for 1 year from 1 March 2023. Not backdated. FIZZLE is more apt!!!

Massive? That’s not even close to the reality. You could and should do better. Ask ChatGPT for help
