Get Control over Energy Costs

Fortunately, the future of solar energy looks bright in the Land of Hope and Glory. More efficiency and innovation are the major hallmarks the English market is enjoying. A case in point is the plan by First Solar to attain efficiency of 19.5% in the next year for Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) cells. In recent months, solar PV has enjoyed increases in both generation and capacity. There is no doubt that solar installations are attractive to both residential and commercial installations. Are you ready to change with the tide and take control of your energy costs? Here is why you should go solar to achieve this goal.

The FiT may have reduced in recent years, but it is still attractive enough to make economic sense. If you are a homeowner, you can still enjoy the FiT subsidiaries through a MCS-certified company. With a tax-free, index-linked FiT rate of 4.32p/kWh plus additional 4.91p/kWh on export, you have enough reasons to consider installing a home solar system. Contact a solar energy expert to determine whether your home’s EPC rating is good enough for eligibility.

Owing to advances in technology and increased demand for solar systems in England, the cost of installations is decreasing dramatically. As recent as 2010, a 4kw solar system was going for £15,500. Fast forward to 2016 and a similar system would cost a paltry £6,500. What does this mean? You are now able to get a clean energy source at a more affordable price despite the elimination of FiTs for small-scale solar farms.

Look around and search the Internet: there are numerous solar battery manufacturers in the country already. From Tesla to Cumulus Energy Storage, SolaX Power Europe to PowerVault, customers have a huge array of options. If you have been worrying about the reliability of solar energy, know that you have a solution in very effective storage batteries. Instead of selling your excess power to the grid, you can keep it in the batteries. This way, you are assured of getting it anytime without having to incur any cost. That is what independence is all about.

I know you are probably sick of the ever-fluctuating energy prices and tariffs. With solar modules on your roof, you can rest easy knowing that energy costs are entirely in your hands.

Do you think you are ready to get control over energy costs? The Feed-in Tariff may have declined recently but installing solar in your facility is still a sensible decision. By just installing the system, you could reduce your energy usage by as much as 40%. Of course, there are other benefits including reduction of the carbon footprint and an increase in property value. Make the wiser decision today.
