With the Feed-in Tariffs (FITs) scheme legislation now in full effect, you have full entitlement to payments from your energy supplier for each unit of clean electricity you produce (43.3p) and an extra 3p for individual units sold back to the grid that you do not need. The 43.3p will be guaranteed for 25 years, tax-free, and RPI linked, making it a very attractive proposition to all by offering incredible savings and a solid investment for the future.

Why would the Government be offering this you may ask? The answer is very simple; the Government has made a commitment to significantly reducing green house gas emissions by 2020, and through the Energy Act 2008 have introduced the Feed-in Tariffs (FITs) to help tackle this by means of small scale low carbon electricity production.

Learn how solar PV works

Solar PV systems utilise the sun’s free potential energy and uses photovoltaic (PV) cell technology to turn sunlight into useable electricity, which in-turn can be used in a domestic capacity to run lighting systems and regular household appliances.

One of the main benefits to the UK renewable market is that you do not need direct sunlight to generate energy; the PV system has the capacity to produce a certain amount of electricity even in overcast conditions.

Photovoltaic panels (PV Cells) can be attached to your walls or roof depending on the optimum angle required for achieving the greatest energy return.

The cells are made up of double or single layers of semiconducting material which create electric fields when sunlight is applied, the greater the amount of sunlight hitting the material the more electricity (measured in kWp) will be produced, therefore increased financial savings.

Generate an income from Feed-in-Tariffs (FIT)

Every kilowatt of electricity you produce will be rewarded regardless of whether you use it yourself, or sell it back to the grid.

Reduce your electricity bills

The sun’s energy is a free and renewable source, meaning that when you have covered the installation costs of the technology; your electricity bills will significantly reduce.

Reduction in your carbon footprint

Solar energy systems do not discharge any carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. It is estimated that a solar PV system installed on a typical residential property could save around 1tonne of CO2 per annum. (Source: Energy Saving Trust).
