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.

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.

North leads the way on installing renewable technology.
Sheffield and other northern cities are leading the way in renewable energy since the introduction of feed-in tariffs to pay for power generated by households. The return on investment of between 7% to 12% from a guaranteed income stream, as well as free electricity is driving demand from home improvement.
Sheffield and Leads Leading the Way
Nearly 2 megawatts of capacity have been added in Sheffield in the last 15 months and Leeds comes second in the league table, with more than 1MW of capacity added. A long way down cities such as Bristol, Bradford and Birmingham are also seeing increases in renewable energy installations per person.
London
With more renewables installed London at more than 3.2 megawatts of capacity added in the 15 months since feed-in tariffs became available, is the largest growth of renewables, but per head, it comes only sixth in the UK.
Sheffield Council
The local council has driven demand by the local council to encourage the take-up of renewable power, and in particular by plans to give people living in social housing access to the technology. Growth in capacity in microgeneration is about 400% since the feed-in tariff was launched in April 2010. Solar panels (photovoltaics) are leading that growth, with an increase in generating capacity of about 900%
