The problem being that solar heating is efficient because it does not convert to electricity first—which is what makes it impossible to fit in to the feed-in tariff scheme.
Some kind of feed-in tariff system would be needed if smart grids were to take off, so perhaps this could be seen as kick-starting the grid idea now so that in 15 years when smart meters are being rolled out they seem like a natural progression.
