I found Eco Heritage to be a very knowledgeable and professional company . I had many phone calls to keep me informed of availability of panels and installation. And on the day of installation I was shown how it all worked and how to complete the FIT paperwork. On 23 December 2011 at 15:08:47 by Alec from Southwater |
Good work done quickly. They could improve on communications though as some delays were not advised and the scaffolding is still up 2 weeks after completion despite promises to remove it. On 15 December 2011 at 09:02:15 by Stephen from Camberley |

Visited within 2hr of initial request to Solarguide for quotes. Work completed 8 working days after initial contact, over 3 weeks ahead of change to feed-in tariff. System seems fine though hard to assess in a dull November. On 17 November 2011 at 10:40:16 by John from Whitstable |
Simpson Electrical were very efficient - and after problems with scaffolding because of the weather they worked all day Saturday to make up for lost time. I was pleased I chose them On 1 September 2011 at 18:37:32 by Philip from Orpington |

Out of the three quotes they were the most local to me. They were part of a larger company which had a demonstrable track record in work for local authorities. On 17 July 2011 at 17:29:47 by Chris from Newtimber |

Solar PV Feed-In Tariff Calculator
With the recent launch of the Government's Feed-In Tariff, electricity generating solar photovoltaic (PV) installations are now a viable proposition for domestic households.
With a guaranteed 25 year income installations can pay for themselves in under 10 years, with any revenue generated thereafter being pure tax-free profit.
Whilst it's easy to generalise these figures every installation and circumstance is unique and for that reason it's important to research the viability of Solar PV for your own specific requirement.
Try our neutral and un-biased Solar PV Feed-In Tariff calculator to assess feasibility. If it works for you then please ensure you request quotes from MCS certified installers to benefit from the feed-in tariff.
Government Grants and Incentives for Solar
-
Feed-in Tariff for Solar PV
The Feed-In Tariff, also known as FIT, became available in the UK on April 1 2010 and is the electricity sector of the Clean Energy Cash Back scheme - a Government-backed scheme that pays people who create their own electricity using green technology including solar PV panels.
-
Renewable Heat Incentive for Solar Thermal
Homeowners, businesses and communities wishing to benefit from reduced energy bills and environmentally friendly technology will be able to do so through the upcoming Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) and Solar Thermal.
Solar PV & Solar Water Heating Information
-
Solar Panel Grants
Homeowners that generate their own electricity or hot water from renewable or low carbon sources such as solar PV or solar thermal panels can receive regular payments via the Feed-in Tariff or Renewable Heat Incentive.
-
Solar Thermal
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
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.
