Good news!!! There will be no change to the Feed-in Tariff rates for Solar PV until the end of June 2013 for sub 50kWp systems.
With domestic 4kWp system prices starting at £5,900 fully installed including EPC there has never been such a great time to invest in renewable energy.

As part of a new Solar PV installation or as a retrofit to an exisitng system we can install a Smart Control that diverts unused electricity generated by your Solar Panels to your immersion heater to heat your Hot Water for FREE!!!
- Smart Water Heating – utilises surplus PV generated energy, without effecting your FiT payments.
- Free electricity to use even when you’re out of the house – excess electricity not used by the house is directed to your immersion heater to heat your water.
- Simple install to start saving – our system uses your existing immersion heater – no extras other than some cable!!!
- Increase your ROI – we estimate a payback of 3-5 years using our control which will increase the return on investment on your initial PV investment
- New or retrofit – can be included as part of a new installation or added as a retrofit to an existing Solar PV system

It is 15 months since we installed Mr E’s Danfoss AQ Air Source Heat Pump and it has only cost £530 to run compared to him speanding £1,500 per annum on oil previously.
“That is about a third of the cost of our previous oil bill alone. We also have a system that is providing 24 hrs of hot water and a constant house temperature of approx 20 degrees. This is with out doubt a significant improvement. We are both very impressed and my wife loves it. It has been fault free which is testament to the system and your installation. Very happy to keep on repeating this to any potential customers.” – Mr E. 18th January 2013

The Government has announced there will be no degression in the Solar PV Feed-in Tariff until May 2013.
That is great news for the growing number of customers placing orders for 2013. December has seen a growth of 40% nationally and this is expected to continue into the New Year.
A 3.84kWp system currently costs from £5,900 inclusive of an EPC and will provide an annual income of over £800 on a South facing roof.
There is no compromise on quality with the use of German panels, inverters and mounting systems.

On the 25th February 2012 we commissioned a 50kWp system at Stratford Agri-Park. We had estimated the 212 x Schueco MPE235 panels would generate 42,301kWh per annum.

On 6th November 2012, 8 months after commissioning, the system had generated just over 43,000kWh and over 70% of the energy had been used.
The original investment had been made on the assumption that 50% of the energy would be used, so the return on investment will be increased further.
The customer is so pleased they are considering other renewable technologies, including more Solar PV & Biomass boilers on their existing properties and also future developments.

The Department of Energy & Climate Change have at long last published proposals for the domestic Renewable Heat Incentive.
The consultation closes on the 7th December 2012 with the scheme expected to go live Summer 2013.
Key proposals in the consultation include:
- Indicative tariff ranges for Air Source Heat Pumps (6.9-11.5p/kWh), Biomass Boilers (5.2-8.7p/kWh), Ground Source Heat Pumps (12.5-17.3p/kWh) and Solar Thermal technologies (17.3p/kWh) that are MCS certified and meet relevant required standards
- Payments for householders over seven years for each kWh of heat produced for the expected lifetime of the renewable technology and based on deemed heat usage
- Tariff levels set to provide a better return for householders living off the gas grid
- Budget management system similar to one introduced for the Feed-in Tariffs scheme
- Minimum energy efficiency requirements based on Green Deal assessments
The above rates will be applicable to householders who have installed such technology since 15 July 2009 as long as it was commissioned by an MCS accredited installed.
