Why should we go Solar?
Producing your own electricity has many benefits, especially in the time of this credit crunch when the prices of fuel and other energy products are so volatile, and not to mention the housing market which is in a similar situation.

1. Increasing energy bills
We have found for the first time that average house hold’s energy bills are over £1,100 and are predicted to go up by 20% this year. However by installing our solar PV system to your property will allow you more control with the electric bills you receive, and more importantly the bill’s you receive in the future. With the dramatic fluctuation in energy costs and interest rates in the banking sector at a record low you would see a better return on yearly savings on your electricity bills based on yield within the capital invested.

2. Would you like to be the energy supplier?
Why don’t you change the way you deal with your electric supplier and get paid to charge them for your over spill electric when you go on holiday or maybe when at work, this can be charged at around 20p per unit giving you an approximate earning of £750 every year. With this New Solar Electric Tile System you can sell your ROC’s (Renewable Obligation Certificates) that you get from the Government to your electric supplier. Further benefits include this being available till as far away as the year 2037.

3. Would you Invest in this Market?
The housing market has seen drops as high as 30% in some parts of the UK and in this volatile market place it would be better to stay where you are and invest in the property you live in until the market starts to recover. Our solar systems make a dramatic change to the value of properties, and have increased in value by as much as 8.5%. Taking a house valued at £150,000 this would increase the value by over £12,500. The solar tiles we fit are manufactured to blend in with various roof tiles giving a great look that is in keeping with your roofs appearance. There are no annual maintenance costs with these solar electric tile systems once they are installed.

4. Be first in your area and lead the way
The average energy efficient British household consumes just over 4,000 kWh (kilowatt hours) of electricity and puts 6 tonnes (2 from electric) of CO2 into the atmosphere each year. If every household and business in the UK installed a basic PV system, we could achieve the UK’s target of reducing carbon emissions by 12% within one year. Furthermore, evidence shows that families and household with solar become more energy aware as they produce their own energy, cutting consumption and electricity bills even further.

What are the two main types of solar technologies

1. Solar photovoltaic that produces electricity

2. Solar thermal that produces hot water
