Solar Panels Have Become More Affordable
The British Photovoltaic Association (BPVA), Micropower Council (MPC), Renewable Energy Association (REA) and Solar Trade Association (STA) have joined forces to re-state the financial benefits of solar photovoltaics in the UK in the wake of the cut to feed-in tariffs (FITs).
Huge Solar Panel take-up
Following a period of confusion with the UK government halving the rate of FITs for domestic installations of less than <4 kW from 43.3p/kW to just 21p/kW customers have not been made aware of the falling costs of installing solar panels. With over 250,000 domestic solar power systems having been installed since the Feed In Tariff (FIT) just over two years ago a total of 1.3 GW of capacity has been installed.
April’s fall in Demand
The latest figures from April shows demand is now stagnating despite the fact that the FIT still offers a return of between 8%-10% for homeowners, which is tax-free, index-linked and guaranteed for 25 years.
Huge Fall in Installation Costs
The solar industry associations highlight the dramatic falling costs of installing solar panels, a typical 4 kW system now costs around £9,000 as opposed to £15,000 less than six months ago in the UK, making photovoltaics one of the best investments you can make. Installing solar panels also protects homeowners from rising energy bills, while contributing to the drive towards a low-carbon economy and the country’s energy security.
“With gas and electricity prices on the rise yet again, returns for today’s investors in solar power are likely to be better than expected,” says the REA’s chief executive Gaynor Hartnell. “By the end of this decade, solar energy costs are expected to fall to the point where it costs the same to generate your own power as it does to buy it from the grid.”
“The cost of installing solar panels has collapsed, meaning that return on investment of 10% is very achievable as we are able to source high quality panels for so much less” says Dean Bliss MD of Absolute Solar. “A typical 4kw Absolute solar system starts from only £8,500 and with our Rent-a-Roof scheme customers can even receive FREE electricity from solar panels on their roof, see our link: Absolute Solar rent-a-roof scheme

Solar Panels
With spring in the air and the weather warming this is the time of the year when demand for solar panels increases, the longer days means more sunshine and that means more energy being produced, making solar panels even more attractive. It does not matter how big or small a house or business you have, solar panels make a sensible investment to make in improving your home or business. Solar panels typically are fitted on your roof, the main requirement for effective solar panel installation is a south-facing roof, but they do work on east west-facing roofs as well, as installed on Absolute Solar’s head office, see our previous posting to see them being installed.

Carrot and Stick of Home Improvement
The UK Government is driving change in how we live by actively encouraging us to upgrade our homes in return for a comparative lowering of our utility bills compare to those who do not invest in their properties. The initiative called Green Deal is the Governments’ driver to lower our carbon use and comes into force in April when houses will need to have a had undertaken and achieved an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) of at least grade D to be allowed to install green technology to their house, such as solar power.
Energy Performance Certificate Impact
This new regulation, requiring an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is an extra cost to consumers and raises the bar of home energy conservation performance to a new level requiring homes to be at least well insulated, having installed cavity wall and loft insulation to achieve level D. Homes after April 2012 which do not achieve level D or above EPC will no longer be able to claim the all important Feed In Tariff (FITs) payments which make solar power a cost-effective investment until they have carried out this level of insulation.
A current FIT makes up over 60% of the yearly saving of investment of solar panels, bringing their payback time down to typically under ten years and with a guaranteed payment by FIT of 25 years. Without the FIT payment any return on investment will be lost, so it is important to get your energy usage under control by insulating your home the most cost-effective way to reduce your energy loss if you have not already had it done, call Absolute Insulation on 0800 652 3777 to get your insulation inspected.
Home and Business improvement
So the UK Government is driving improvements through legislation which is being more than matched by the increases in world prices of gas and oil. With costs having increased by 20+% over the last year and set to increase further in the next few years making savings in usage is becoming an important driver in the domestic and commercial economy.
From October 2012 the Green Deal will provide the ability to offset fund home and business improvement by rolling the cost into a long-term loan up to the level of savings which your home or business can achieve, called the Golden Rule, which will use the savings you generate from the improvements to fund the investment in carbon saving or energy generation. So book your insulation now to achieve your level D or higher EPC with Absolute Insulation, click here to learn more Absolute Insulation.

Solar Panels Feed In Tariff (FIT)
With a payback of 21 pence per unit generated through the Feed In Tariff (FIT) coupled with FREE SOLAR ENERGY and an export tariff of 3.1pence, installing solar panels provides an excellent return on investment. Starting with lower electricity (or gas if installing solar thermal to a gas central heated house) costs, typically a skip system with supply up to 60% of a house’s electricity. This immediate cost reduction, from day one of the system going live, customers can see if they use a monitoring system like the SunnyBoy one which Absolute Solar recommends to monitor how much electricity is being generated at any time.
With Feed In Tariff (FIT) of 21 pence per unit payback from your electricity supplier as part of the financial package provides customers of Absolute Solar, an MCS accredited solar panel installer with an enhanced financial incentive to install green, clean technology.
The third element of the payback system is the export tariff which provides customers with money back from their utility supplier where they are generating electricity which is sold back to their utility supplier.

Green Deal Overview
In October 2012 the Governments new flagship programme called Green Deal will replace a variety of existing schemes (CESP, CERT amongst many others) to reduce energy usage and transform our economy to a low carbon economy. The Green Deal will replace existing programmes with an enhanced integrated one which it is hoped will transform the UK economy by reducing our carbon usage by 80% by 2050.
Green Deal Golden Rule
To achieve that the Green Deal will generate a low carbon economy, linking energy conservation to homes and business need. The Golden Rule is that all improvements to domestic or commerical premises under Green Deal will be limited to equivalent saving the improvement will make. With the average home estimated requiring £25,000 invested to bring it up to the standard, that will mean the potential investment will be limited to this figure to reduce energy use and for improvements to domestic dwellings.
Green Deal Domestic Funding
Green Deal will provide homes and business with a new source of funding linked to the buildings need. In 2009 UK homes accounted for 28% of UK energy usage and with over 80% of them envisaged to be still in use by 2050 there is a need to actively reduce their energy consumption. With utility bills estimated to increase by 60% by 2020 the financial impact of not reducing costs will be considerable.
Green Deal Solar
For those who have reduced energy consumption, by installing insulation (both cavity wall and loft), double glazing and modernised their boiler then will then be an opportunity to improve their energy generation using Green Deal funding to install solar panels and other green technologies such as air and ground heat exchangers in domestic and commercial improvements.
