John and Mary, a couple from Lincolnshire recently invested in PV solar panels.
“We have just had a 4kW photovoltaic panel system fitted because it makes financial sense.”
There is currently a window of opportunity to take advantage of a clean energy cash-back scheme, guaranteed by the government for a 20 year period. (more…)
PV solar panels (photovoltaic) are our future.
Learning from history; dependence on others is never a good thing.
The future of energy security will be on a personal level.
The start of Power My Home began on a train journey to Salzburg in 2004, where I noticed the large numbers of solar panels on homes, even back then. (more…)
Homeowners across the United Kingdom can now get grants towards the cost of installing systems such as solar heating panels and evacuated tubes.
• Solar Heating Panels including Evacuated Solar Tubes– £300 grant (available to all homes, regardless of the type of the existing heating system).
• Biomass boiler– £950 grant (for homes without mains gas).
• Air and ground source heat pumps– £850 grant (for homes without mains gas).
The coalition government unveiled a £15m Renewable Heat Premium Payment scheme– which begins on 1 August and will run until March 2012. The incentive aims to support up to 25,000 microgeneration installations on a first-come-first-served basis. (more…)
We’ve been shouting from the rooftops for years at how brilliant solar panels are.
You don’t understand the benefits until you’ve seen them at work.
After asking some of our customers, we have had great responses:
“As scientists, we invested in solar heating panels years ago, proved it worked and saved us money. Now we have paid for the expensive PV solar system which will give us a better return for our money than the building society. After all the space station which uses the technology proves the system works long-term.”
Mr. Seigal, Sussex
Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels aren’t just producing power; they generate money.
You need a southerly-facing roof with space to put the panels.
Solar panels do work on most cloudy days in the United Kingdom.
Battery storage will push the benefits even further into your evenings.
You save on your energy bills and the generation tariff scheme gives a guaranteed income for any surplus.
Incentives for solar heating panels are finally here.
The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) is designed to increase solar panel adoption such as evacuated tubes.
Currently, only a tiny proportion of the UK’s housing stock has solar heat technology.
Up to 25,000 installations will help people benefit from solar-powered heating systems and ensure a fair spread across all the regions of the UK. (more…)
