Solar Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)

Helping you understand your homes energy efficiency performance

Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) enable you to understand your home’s current energy efficiency performance by measuring the energy use and carbon dioxide emissions to provide you with a rating (A – G). The report also gives helpful advice on how you could improve this rating – helping you save money on your energy bills

  • Your home will be rated A to G
  • Your report will suggest ways to improve your rating
  • Your home’s EPC is valid for 10 years

How to get your EPC for Solar PV

In order to benefit from the higher rate Feed-in Tariff (FIT) you will need to provide an Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) rating of band D or above. Energy assessors are specially trained to complete an EPC for you, as well as advise you on ways to heat your home more efficiently to help you save electricity.

Gain the higher rate of FiT

An energy assessor will carry out an Energy Performance Report which will give you an indication of your home’s current rating and when you install solar PV panels you’ll be provided with an up to date EPC – and if you need more than solar PV to get to a band D you’ll also be advised what product will be able to help you achieve this, for example by installing loft and cavity wall insulation or ‘A’ rated boilers along with a range of other products.

Did you know?

Earn Money via the Feed-In TarrifThe Government's Feed-In Tariff was launched on April 1st 2010 to encourage homeowners to generate their own electricity - it is split into two methods of revenue.

The Generation Tariff earns you a fixed income for every kilowatt hour of electricity you generate. And, The Export Tariff earns you income for every kilowatt hour you generate and sell back to the grid.

An average 3/4 bedroom house fitted with 2.5kw Solar PV panels and normal electricity usage would earn over £850 p/a tax free!

Add this to an approximate £145 reduction in your electricity usage and you could benefit by over £1,000 per year.
