Is my home suitable & in a suitable location?
The best location for maximum benefit from the PV system is to have a South, South East or South West facing roof top or wall which is not over shadowed by other buildings or trees, etc. The roof or structure must be able to take the weight of the panels.
What size panels will I need?
Solar panels come as standard so that they can be integrated onto domestic roofs. The panels are designed to be used in a myriad of configurations to suit any installation site.
How much will it cost?
As an average, a system costs between £6,500 and £14,000 depending on how many solar panels are required. An average domestic system will have a 2 kWp system installed.
How is it installed?
The installation process is carried out by our MCS qualified installers. To find out more about the process please contact us and one of our consultants will be happy to go through this in detail with you.
How much will I get paid?
The guaranteed income on a feed in tariff for electricity generated is 21p per KWH , 8% return on investment on a 4KW system.
How do I get paid?
On completion of the installation, we register the installation on the FIT database from which your MCS certificate is generated.
Once your PV system is installed, you contact your energy supplier with your MCS eligibility certificate. Your energy supplier will then confirm your tariff.
Do I need Planning Permission?
The majority of solar installations are exempt from planning in England & Scotland – depending on various criteria - size of the solar installation; listed building; conservation area. However, it is still worth checking with your local authority.
In Northern Ireland & Wales, planning permission is currently required. This may change soon but again, it is advisable to check with your local authority.
