Solar PV systems simply convert sunlight into electricity. An array of solar panels are installed directly onto your roof and connected to your existing power supply. This electricity is fed straight into the power supply of the property. It saves on your bills as the system always uses your own PV electricity before drawing it from your power supplier. Any excess is then automatically exported.
The main incentive, however, for installing PV now comes in the form of payback from the government for the power your generate. The Feed-in Tariff scheme offers you a fixed rate, tax free income on all electricity your PV array produces. On top of that you are helping to stop climate change, reducing co2 emissions and your carbon footprint.
Feed in Tariff:
Recent Government Legislation ensure you will be paid (tax-free) for ALL energy produced, with extra payments for any energy you do not consume. The Feed-in Tariff has been introduced by the Government to increase the level of renewable energy in the UK towards our target of 15% of total energy from renewables by 2020 (up from under 2% in 2009)
Up to 43.4p per kWh will be paid for 25 years from April 2010. It is tax-free for domestic properties and is indexed linked to the RPI (Retail Price Index) to protect from inflation.
E.g. Installing a 1-4kW system on an existing house in 2010 would mean the customer would lock-in to the 43.3p per unit (kWh) payment for 25 years, indexed linked to RPI and tax-free.
