Solar Thermal and Solar PV

Solar PV & Solar Water Heating Information

• Solar Panel Grants
  

  Homeowners that generate their own electricity from renewable or low carbon sources such as solar PV panels can receive regular payments from energy suppliers under the new Clean Energy Cash Back scheme, also known as the Feed-in Tariff.

• Solar Water Heating
  

  Solar thermal panels convert the Sun's solar energy into hot water to complement your existing domestic hot water supply. The technology uses evacuated tube or flat-plate collector panels coupled with a twin-coil cylinder normally located within your airing cupboard. A typical installation can supply up to 1/3 of your hot water all year round.

• Solar PV (Electricity generation)
  

  Solar PV technology is an extremely underused technology within the UK which can provide huge cost savings to a domestic household whilst also generating income via the Clean Energy Cashback feed-in tariff by selling back unused energy to your energy supplier.

• Solar Panels
  

  Solar panels come in a variety of different types and technologies all suited to varying situations and requirements. The two main types of panel are differentiated by their output of either electricity (solar PV) or hot water (solar thermal).

• Solar Power
  

  Solar power has been harnessed for many years but only in the least few years has solar technology become economically viable for use in the domestic household. Solar thermal can provide hot water all-year round whilst solar PV can cut up to £200 off your energy bills and provide a passive income via the Government's feed-in tariff.
