Domestic Solar Electricity
Solar feed in Tariifs have made domestic solar PV systems a real money maker and money saver!
If I install a typical solar PV system of about 2kW, this could cost less than £10,000 depending on the particular installation, the return on this investment is three fold:
The Feed in Tariff will return a lump sum of 41.3p per kWh generated whether you use it or not
Any electricity generated you can use, this can save you about 10p per unit of electricity that you don't have to buy (use the washing machine midday?).
Any surplus electricity generated can be sold back to your electricity utility at about 3p per unit.
The Feed in Tariff is inflation proofed for 25 years, you have a contract that guarantees payment for this period.
With the every rising cost of electricity, you are cushioned somewhat.
What will it cost?
The cost of installations can vary widely depending on the size of system and where it is to be installed.
A large house with a significant south facing roof area might just about cope with a 4kW system, the maximum size that both gains the higher incentive and will not require specific permission from your utility provider due to the size of system.
An installation of this size will benefit with a certain economy of scale, one set of scaffolding, cables, connections etc. and the cost can be brought down to £16 - 18,000.
A smaller installation might cost slightly more propertionally - the major cost remains in the price of the panels - but remains a great investment.
Why Use Waterlink?
Waterlink has been involved with solar energy for some years and has looked for the best system at the best price that can be sold with our name associated with it. We have previously promoted solar heating flat panels, these were and still are excellent products and the installed price was certainly up with the best value at the time.
The introduction of the Feed in Tariff and continuing reductions in the cost of Solar PV means we are happy to promote this technology.
In promoting these systems we can confirm that should you wish to take the next step and contact us, you will NOT have a salesman on commission pressing you to sign up immediately. The product and price should easily sell itself.
