Free solar panels sound good, but buying them yourself is better
Solar Panels
Solar Photovoltaic (PV) panels on the roofs of homes and businesses capture the sun's energy to generate electricity cleanly and quietly. Light energy is converted directly into electricity by transferring sunlight photon energy into electrical energy. Solar energy is the most abundant and most efficient of all the potential power sources.
Government Grant (Feed-In Tariff)
Feed-in tariffs have started! Be green, cut your bills and get paid for having solar energy.
Join now and get 400% return.
The basics: The government's feed-in tariffs (FiT) are an encouragement for people to switch to renewable technologies in their property, helping to lessen its carbon footprint and meet the 2020 emissions targets. The scheme will pay you for every unit of electricity you generate with Solar PV, whether it's used in the property or not.
The figures: This means that you could generate an annual income from your installation of up to 10% yield of your investment level for the entire 25 year life of the Tariff scheme. Compare this to the average 1% interest rate on a bank account, putting your money in solar is proving a more profitable and safer investment thank banks.
Why you should invest in Solar PV
These reasons are all true. We didn't believe some of them ourselves but they are fact and we are the proof.
The value of your property will increase. Every pound you spend on Solar PV doubles, or even trebles, the value of your building. Solar PV has added £30-40k to each of the Beech properties.
You get paid for the electricity you generate - even if you use it yourself.
So, not only do you save money from importing less electricity but you actually receive an income from it. And, because these tariff levels are set by the government, the payback period is guaranteed.
This equates to a 400% grant for every unit of electricity you produce; and you don't even pay for what you do use. In addition, get a bonus payment for every kWh you export back to the National Grid.
Improve your property's Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating.
Reduce your reliance on utility companies by generating your own power.
Get inflation free electricity for 50 years.
Pay no bills if you generate 100% of the electricity you use, which can easily be achieved. So you don't need to worry about maintenance or keeping up with the bills.
