There are many benefits to installing solar power into your home. Here are just a few…
- The Government-backed Feed in Tariff means you can earn up to £1,500 per year tax free by installing Solar PV Panels. Guaranteed premium payment for every kilowatt hour of electricity you generate yourself for 25 years
- Guaranteed price for any additional electricity exported onto the National Grid. This will be deemed based on the amount of electricity generated
- Onsite usage of generated electricity, therefore reducing the amount purchased from an electricity supplier – up to 80% of you own electricity free of charge
- No cap, or limit, on the amount of renewable power that can be developed
- Long-term contracts facilitate access to financing to cover installation costs
- For anyone who generates power under a Feed in Tariff program, the income more than offsets any electricity price increases.
- A significant rise in the use of renewable energy will allow the replacement of ageing power plants with clean alternatives
- Feed in tariffs have been shown time and again to be the most efficient and cost-effective way to foster renewable energy
- Renewable energy is non-polluting and, as the name tells us, it is renewable and does not use resources that can never be replaced
- Renewable energy has a much lower environmental impact than conventional sources of energy
- The benefits of renewable energy extend to stimulating the economy and creating job opportunities. The money that is invested in renewable energy is typically spent on materials and staff that build and maintain equipment instead of importing energy
- These systems have the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with residential energy use – greenhouse gas emissions could increase by over 40% within two decades without renewable energy
- Renewable energies can replace all coal and nuclear grid power
- There will be a regular review of the program to ensure that tariffs are set appropriately and that they are lowered regularly as costs decrease
- If you decide to sell your house, having solar energy installed could add up to 6% on top of the asking price
