An introduction to SolarUK's Solar PV technology
Generate your own electricity from the sun's rays!
Clarity on Feed in Tarif is Great news for Customers: “The tariff rate for PV installations less than or equal to 4kW will not fall below 21p for installations with an eligibility date between 12th December 2011 and March 31, 2012.”
A real opportunity
With the introduction of the new Feed in Tariff initiative by the Government, you have a fantastic opportunity to not only use this technology, but get paid to.
Those who adopt the technology will see a real saving on their electricity bill and a seperate income from every single unit of electricity generated!
If you are considering investing in solar eletcric photovoltaic panels there are many ways of benefiting from this technology along with the new Feed in Tariffs.
We have listed a selection of the most likely ways to get involved along with a guide to the kind of cost and benefit you might achieve (The important thing to mention is we are MCS accredited so all new installations comply and can be eligible for FITs).
Domestic Solar PV Installation
An installation on a south facing house roof. This installation would be limited by either your budget or the size of the roof.
A medium sized domestic solar pv installation could be 2 kW of solar panels.
This would be 12 solar panels, each panel being about 1 metre by 1.3 metres. The overall price would typically be about £8.500 and include equipment, installation and connection to the mains.
Payback?
What is the payback? The FIT will pay 43.3 p per kWh (for retrofit onto existing properties) generated whether you use it or not. Your electricity supplier will pay for any units exported, so energy generated while you are on holiday will still be used and be paid for, and of course, you don't have to pay your electricity company anything for energy that you generate and you use.
( The REA estimates that the proposals published today will mean for example that a 2kW (p) PV (solar electricity) system will generate £702 income per annum. The system will further avoid importing grid electricity leaving to total savings of £831 per annum. After the payback period owners of renewable systems are likely to enjoy substantial savings on their energy bills and income for a further 5 to 10 years with ongoing savings after this period).
Treating this as an investment, the return, which is tax free will be above 7%.
This will also add real value to your house in that it not only has a lower electricity running cost but can make money for the new owner.
