Solar power is becoming a big deal, not just in the UK, but worldwide. It’s being picked up domestically and commercially as a way to avoid National Grid energy prices and reduce those expensive energy bills.
In the UK particularly, there are a tonne of incentives to make solar panels worthwhile. Not only can you make serious cuts to your energy bills, but you can also earn a guaranteed Government income for 20 years. And this is tax-free too.
With solar you’ll save and earn over £600 annually, which provides you with a huge profit over the system’s lifetime of 25+ years.
That’s why it’s so easy to see why solar has become such a popular proposition. In 2012, there was enough energy produced from solar panels to support 70 million people.
Solar has always been popular in China and Germany, but it’s also gaining popularity elsewhere, with 30 countries having a solar capacity over 100 Megawatts. Of course, whilst Germany remains the top solar installer, countries such as Japan, India and the Middle East have seen a huge boost in installation rates.
Tom Crosswell, Head of Marketing at Quotatis, spoke about the current solar situation, saying: “It’s an amazing prospect that 70 million people around the world can be fully supported by solar. What’s important though is for this growth to continue, especially in the UK.
“There’s no reason why the whole country can’t get on board either, with the lucrative feed-in tariff scheme supporting those who invest. There’s a high return on offer – one that’s greater than putting your money in any high-street bank.
“We expect solar to continue growing year-in year-out and it’s up to homeowners in the country to invest in order to avoid missing out.”
With solar panels:
- Reduce your energy bills by hundreds of pounds every year
- Earn a guaranteed income from the feed-in tariff scheme
- Sell any excess electricity to the National Grid
- Slash your home’s carbon emissions and improve your EPC rating.
