Saving Energy UK will survey, design, install and commission bespoke solar PV systems using our own fully trained staff. We will design the system to your budget whilst maximising your roof space to provide you with your maximum rate of return on your investment.
How do solar panels work?
- Solar panels are fitted to your roof and convert daylight into electricity which you can then use in your home, saving you money on your energy bills.
- Also under the government’s clean energy cashback scheme (the Feed in Tariff), you will also earn an income from the electricity generated by your panels over a guaranteed 25 year period. In addition to this, any surplus energy you do not use, you can sell back to the grid.
What is the government’s “Feed-In-Tariff”?
The government have created a financial incentive for renewable electricity generation called the feed-in-tariff. The tariff provides the homeowner with three major incentives:
- A generation tariff payment of 21p for every unit of electricity that your system generates only until 1st July 2012.
- An additional 3.1p for every unit of electricity that you do not use but export to the national grid.
- A saving against the electricity that you will not be purchasing from the national grid. (Savings dependent on your unit cost and usage)
- The payments are tax-free on domestic installations and are guaranteed for 25 years.
