Solar Panels in the UK

Solar panels for the first time in history are a good financial investment with the added 25 year guarantee from the government who are making the first commitment to making renewable energy top on their agenda for environmental for sustainable energy.

The latest solar panels are 'direct' evacuated tubes and PV photovoltaic solar panels, which perform well in the UK climate.

After 30 years, compound interest would turn the £8,000 in a savings account to £27,568. Assuming the money from solar (the feed-in tariff and electricity savings, etc) is deposited in a bank after the installation costs have been paid off at year 10, harnessing the power of the sun would be worth £40,654 after 30 years.

Benefits of PV Solar Panels:

	No planning permission needed.	Can reduce your electricity bills by up to 100%
	Surplus sold back to the National Grid at good rates.	Get trade able 'Renewable Obligation Certificates' (ROCs).
	No maintenance, with a long functional lifetime of 30+ years. PV solar installed in the 1960's is still working	Increases the value of your property.
	Silent in operation.	Your own clean, independent renewable power source.
	Works all year round.
Clean energy cashback scheme & feed-in tariffs The feed-in tariff (Fits scheme) for PV solar panels - Depending on what size you buy compared to how much energy you consume, PV solar will generate your electric and sell your energy produced through the new 'Clean Energy Cash Back Scheme' and power from solar panel could earn £900, on top of £140 reduction on household energy bill.

Highest Feed-in Tafiffs to the National Grid

Tariff levels, for technologies installed between 15th July 2009 and 31st March 2012 of most significance to householders

In general:

• the more electricity the system can generate, the more it costs but the more it could save
• solar tiles cost more than conventional panels
• panels built into a roof are more expensive than those that sit on top but,
• if you need major roof repairs, PV tiles can offset the cost of roof tiles

Savings can be considerable - almost 1 tonne of CO₂ a year, and around £200 off your electricity bill*. A 2 kWp system could provide around 40% of a household's yearly electricity needs.

Maintenance is generally small - you'll need to keep the panels relatively clean and make sure trees don't begin to overshadow them.
