Why Go Solar
Polls show that public concern about Global Warming and depleted natural resources has grown steadily over the last decade. So why has this not resulted in a steady growth in the number of households and commercial premises fitting solar panels? Until now potential investors have been deterred by the relatively high capital outlay, slow rate of return, and the piece meal nature and variability of local authority grants. Now this trend is set to change with the introduction of the Government’s new Feed In Tariff (FIT), which came into existence 1st April 2010.
Under the new regulations property owners receive a payment for every unit of electricity generated by their solar panels, irrespective of how many they consume; and a higher payment is made for unused units of electricity diverted onto the National Grid during periods of low energy consumption.

The Feed In Tariff is set to transform the cost effectiveness of solar electricity by offering typical returns of around 9% tax free per annum; a rate of return much higher than that of a savings account. At current energy prices, your system should pay for itself within about 10 years, and, given the likelihood that energy prices will continue to rise, perhaps even less.
