The Benefits of Solar PV

Here's what Solar PV could do for you:

You get paid for the electricity you generate and 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 day 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

Domestic solar installations up to 10kW in size will receive a FiT rate of 3.86p/kWh from 1 October to 31 December 2018, after which degressions will continue to occur every quarter.

The export tariff currently sits at 5.24p/kWh.

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 20.66p/kWh for solar thermal applications.
