The cells in solar photovoltaic (PV) panels capture the sun's natural energy and convert it into electricity. Modern PV panels produce electricity during daylight hours throughout the year - even when the sun isn't shining! The electricity generated flows through an inverter which makes it suitable for use in the home and for exporting to the national grid.

You may be aware that the feed-in tariff rates have recently changed, please call us on 01780 763415 to discuss in more detail, on how we can help with your installation.

As part of the government’s strategy of reducing carbon emissions from energy use, it has introduced a new range of incentives.

The Feed in Tariff or FIT was introduced in April 2010 and it guarantees that energy companies will pay you for every unit of electricity you produce from renewable energy technologies.

You can then use this energy yourself, saving you the costs of buying that energy from an energy company and export any unused energy back to the national grid for which you will receive an additional payment.

The tariffs have been set at levels to provide you with a return on your investment of around 7-10%* over the expected lifetime of the technology - far higher that the interest you can currently earn on savings from any high street bank or building society! (*subject to terms)

The prices paid for the electricity your solar panels generate are guaranteed for 20 years and index linked to allow for inflation.

Home Owners

Add value to your property and the FIT will provide a generous, regular, tax free, index linked income for the 20 year term.

Landlords

You could set a higher rent as tenants will be using free electricity, supplemented by a lesser demand from the grid supply; and you would also be receiving the 20 year FIT payments.

Commercial Premises

Generally commercial premises have a need for daytime lighting and power, therefore, they could maximise the overall benefits by using all the generated power and still getting the FIT payments for it.
