Use the Renewable Power of the Sun to Reduce Bills and to Make Money by utilising the UK Government Feed-in Tariffs

In a single hour the sun transmits more energy to the earth's surface than the world uses in a year. You can use solar technology to make use of this free source of energy to generate electricity and hot water for you home.

As our domestic energy bills continue to rise, there are now real steps that you can take to reduce your carbon footprint and increase your annual income.

Solar photovoltaic (PV) modules generate and store electricity from the sun's energy through the use of rechargeable modules. They produce energy that contributes to the running of appliances and lighting within the home whilst emitting no greenhouse gases.

By investing in solar power and installing photovoltaic solar panels on your property, you can cut your electricity payments and generate a substantial 25 year index-linked income by utilising the Government-backed Feed-in Tariff Scheme.

The systems can be fitted to most buildings and can be installed on roof tiles, within roof tiles or even on the ground. To work at the most efficient levels, panels should face within 90° of south and not be overshadowed by buildings, trees or any obstruction which could block daylight from the unit.

In England, changes to permitted development rights for domestic renewable technologies mean that most solar PV installations do not require planning permission as long as they respect certain size criteria. Exceptions will apply for installations on flat roofs, listed buildings and buildings in conservation areas, so checking with planning offices is always suggested.
