Benefits of Solar PV

Here's what Solar PV could do for you:
- You get paid for the electricity you generate and for that you don’t use. The Government’s feed-in-tariff pays a set rate per kWh of electricity generated and an additional rate for any exported back to the national grid.
- Receive a tax free income. The feed-in tariff is guaranteed by the Government for 20 years and will rise in line with inflation.
- Reduce your carbon footprint. Clean energy means you reduce your carbon emissions by up to 1 tonne per annum.
- Produce energy even on cloudy days, Panels designed for European countries simply need light to produce electricity.
Benefits of Solar Thermal

Here's what Solar Thermal could do for you:
- You get paid for the hot water you generate. Your solar thermal installation will be eligible for the Government Renewable Heat Incentive – that is a tax free, index-linked payment for seven years.
- Save on energy bills. Hot water produced by solar thermal panels offsets the cost of energy that you would otherwise use to heat the water.
- Reduce your carbon footprint. Nothing is burned therefore offsetting any carbon dioxide that would have otherwise been produced.
- Heated water for 365 days a year. When solar energy is minimal during the winter months a conventional boiler or immersion heater can be used to supplement your hot water.
Feed-in Tariff for Solar PV
RHI for solar thermal installations
The Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) is a quarterly payment over seven years to households who have installed solar thermal systems. The current rate sits at 20.06p/kWh for solar thermal applications until 31 March 2018.

Total Power Installations Ltd
Fantastic from start to finish Laura was very helpful, and not a bit pushy but went over and above to help us with the forms and get them fitted asap. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Safe And Protect Ltd
Safe & protect were brilliant to work with throughout. Our initial conversation with them was excellent and informative, as was our initial meeting. On installation day, their workforce conducted themselves in a totally professional manner throughout, leaving our home as if they’d never been. Once they’d gone, Ewan, the owner, went through everything with me answering all my questions. I received follow up phone calls and emails from their office ensuring everything was working . I would definitely recommend them.

Peter contacted me quickly and arranged to come and go through my utility bills and look at my loft and roof. He explained the process efficiently and arranged for installation within a week. Hopefully, the installation will be as good an experience next week.
