In optimal conditions i.e. facing south and tilted at an angle of 30degrees to the horizontal, a typical 2 kWp domestic PV system in the UK will generate 1500 kWh per annum. 1kWh is equivalent to 1 unit of electricity on your electricity bill.

 

 

If every suitable roof in the UK was fitted with solar PV the energy generated could exceed the nation's current electricity demand.

 

 

The greater the intensity of the light, the greater the flow of electricity.

 

 

PV arrays now come in a variety of shapes and colours, ranging from grey 'solar tiles' that look like roof tiles, to panels and transparent cells that you can use on conservatories and glass to provide shading as well as generating electricity. As well as enabling you to generate free electricity they can provide an interesting alternative to conventional roof tiles!

 

 

A horizontal plane in the south of England in summer can receive up to
1 kW/m2 at peak times, but this falls to 200 W/m2 on a dull winter™s day.

 

PV systems generate no greenhouse gases, saving approximately 325kg of carbon dioxide emissions per year - adding up to about 8 tonnes over a system's lifetime.

How To Make Money With Solar Panels

There has never been a better time to take advantage of renewable energy and benefit from generous Feed-in Tariffs announced by our Government in 2010.

We can offer a range of MCS approved solar electric systems for your home or business, installed on the roof or ground mounted.

PV Feed-in Tariffs (FITS) became available in Great Britain on 1st April 2010. Under this scheme, energy suppliers have to make regular payments to homeowners who generate their own electricity from renewable or low carbon sources such as solar panels. Once you have your solar panels installed you will not only experience a reduction in your monthly electricity bill but you will also receive an income from your Feed-in Tariff provider!

Benefits of a Solar PV System:

Feed-in tariffs are payments made to homeowners and businesses for the renewable electricity they generate.

The feed-in tariff, introduced on 1st April 2010, guarantees that owners of small scale solar PV systems will receive up to 21.0p for every kWh of energy generated for the next 25 years. If you read on you will get the fine print. If you haven't got time this may be all you need to know:

You can receive a payment (tariff) from your electricity company of up to 21.0p per kWh of energy generated, whether you use it in your house or not. You can also use the energy for free.
The tariff is non-taxable and will increase in line with inflation (RPI).
It applies for 25 years from the date of system installation. So for 25 years you will get paid for the electricity you generate.
Overall you can expect around a 6-11% return on your investment. That means that if you invested £11000 in solar panels you'd be approximately £1200 better off per year. If you have money in the bank, you'll be lucky to get 1% on it at the moment.
In order for your system to qualify for feed in tariffs, it must be installed by an MCS accredited installer.

"A return of 9% - better than any bank can provide" - Ed Miliband, speaking in his former role as Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change.

How Do Solar Panels Work

During installation of a PV system, there is little disruption to your home - all the components are on your roof or in your loft, apart from a meter and switch which can be installed by your main fuse box.

Industrial Panels

Industrial and office units usually have large roof areas ideal to take advantage of solar panel installations.

 

How much will a grid connected system cost?

Prices for Solar PV systems vary, depending on the size of the system and the type of cell used. Systems installed on top of your existing roof are less expensive than systems integrated into new build. Solar tiles cost more than conventional panels, but the cost of tiles that would be displaced can be offset against the Solar tiles. The size and price of your system will depend on the suitable available roof area and your budget.
