An hour late for one visit(and I'm obsessive about punctuality.Some misunderstandings about arrays,but I should have insisted on all telephone conversation decisions being confirmed by email.Assuming the system does what's promised/estimated,I'd recommend Cain Electric very highly.

Solar PV Feed-In Tariff Calculator

Solar 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
    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
    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.
