Solar PV Instillation & Costs
Solar PV: An economical, eco-friendly alternative
Harness the sun's power to save carbon and cash
There are many different benefits of installing solar PV systems on your building depending on which angle you are approaching from (environmental, financial etc). The main benefits are summarized below:
• Solar PV systems can reduce or eliminate the need to purchase electricity from your energy provider. Not only does this help to reduce our reliance on pollutant fossil fuels, the Energy Saving Trust estimates that in the UK average savings stand at £230 per year from utilising the sun's energy through PV.
• Installing a PV system on your building is a big step towards your corporate/social responsibility in reducing your businesses carbon footprint and aiding the fight against climate change.
• Take advantage of the existing feed in tariff (FiT) rate 41.3p for every KW of energy that your PV system produces as it is due to be reduced in April 2012.
• A typical 4 KW solar PV system on your office, factory or home will increases the value of the building meaning you can command a higher price should you ever come to sell it. Figures on exactly how much value is added it is estimated to be approximately £8,000. In addition to this when you move you still receive the FiT payment that is unless you choose to transfer it to the new owners for an additional sum.
• Additionally receiving £42,043 in Fit payments, a fuel saving of £35,026, an Export Income of £6,255 and a CO2 saving of 30,487kg.
• On an annual rate of return 9.48% giving a total of £83,323, tax free over the 25 years.
• This rate is guaranteed to those who install a solar PV system before April 2012 the current rate of return is higher than if you invested your savings in a bank account or an ISA.
• Solar PV systems are made from silicon, a derivative of sand which is widely available.
Once we have installed the solar PV system on your property there is nothing else you need to do as we monitor it remotely and check the panel performance and will guarantee that if over the 25 years our solar panels output drops to less than 80% we will replace the panel that is failing.
