Who's for Solar?
First and foremost, those people who care for the environment.

It is increasingly accepted as fact that our continued emissions of carbon are leading to global warming. The most direct effects are changes in the weather patterns, the creeping effects are the gradual increases in sea levels both due to the melting of ice and the heat expansion of water.

By generating a portion of our heat from the sun, we are able to directly reduce our consumption of oil and gas and thus do our bit! Installing a solar system is a positive step towards doing our bit towards saving the earth, every bit as valuable, perhaps more so, than choosing a more fuel efficient car or choosing to walk rather than driving.

In addition, home owners should consider the financial benefits.

If you have finally moved into the house that you expect to call home for many years to come, now is the time to consider one of the best investments you could make.

The sooner you install solar panels, the sooner you will reach the point that these panels will have paid off the initial investment and provide truly free electricity. Rather a clever part of the retirement plan?

And with the price of fuel continually increasing, the time taken to pay back the initial investment in a solar heating system is continually coming down.

What is more, if you expect to retire and remain in your house, this investment is an effective way of passing on financial benefits in the form of lower energy costs for the years ahead that the government won't be able to tax!

Will it add value to my property

Solar power is increasingly becoming accepted as an effective system of generating electrical power. The value of your property will increase from day one. As the price of energy goes up, anything that makes a house less expensive to run will be a key selling point!

How much electricity can a PV system produce?

Systems are usually between 1 and 5kW and can meet between 25% and 100% of household needs. A typical household will consume 3-4000kWh annually.
