Solar Technology and Feed-in Tariffs

If you are looking to install a solar system into your property it is important to consider which type of technology will suit your needs. There are two main types of solar power:

• Photovoltaics
• Solar Thermal Heating

Photovoltaic Panels generate electricity which will help to supply the energy you need to light and power the appliances and products in your home.

Feed-in tariffs were introduced in April 2010 to provide a financial incentive to generate electricity using photovoltaic panels and speed up the pay-back period on the initial investment. *please note changes to the feed in tariff will take effect from December 2011 call us for further information on 0800 988 2881

Solar Thermal Heating heats your hot water system as a result of the sun raising the temperature of water inside solar panels or evacuated tubes which sit on the roof of your home.
