Quotatis has partnered with Solarpraxis, one of the world’s leading consulting and service companies in the renewable energies industry, for its May conference, Solar Industry Summit UK* in a bid to help introduce installation companies to the growing solar energy market.
Thanks to Feed In Tariffs (FITs) – a government scheme which guarantees payment for solar-produced energy, whether fed back into the national grid or not – householders are wising up to the enormous potential that sits above their heads.
“It is a fantastic revolution, and one that provides an opportunity for anyone looking to diversify their business,” said Peter Jervis, Quotatis’s managing director. “Everywhere you go, you see photovoltaic panels springing up because householders realise that it is a secure investment with high returns. In fact the UK saw the installation of some 17,000 solar PV systems last year. There aren’t many better places to put your money at the moment – some householders are seeing a 12%-13% return on their investment, and FITs are guaranteed for 25 years!”
Thanks to word of mouth and a constant exposure in the national press, the recent demand for photovoltaic panels has, literally, gone through the roof, especially since the FIT scheme is expected to come to an end in April 2013.
In order to help companies enter this lucrative market, Solarpraxis runs conferences that introduce them to European suppliers as well as existing companies in the sector. Quotatis is already well-established in the solar energy sector, having built up an enviable record of providing leads to companies within the industry. In order to promote its strength, Quotatis will have a presence on all of Solarpraxis’s marketing material during May.
“I think we have developed a very strong and important partnership,” Peter continued. “Solarpraxis is very experienced when it comes to setting people up in this industry, and Quotatis is already established as the premier lead generator for solar installations. Together we can make a real impact during the conferences they have organised during May.”
“I think this is an opportunity that any entrepreneurial business simply cannot afford to ignore. Over the next two years we are going to see an incredible demand for solar panel installations as householders realise that it is a win-win situation. Even when FITs come to an end, people will still be interested in the free electricity provided by the sun, especially as energy costs are expected to increase.”
“The revolution in domestic energy generation will rival any new market sector that we have seen in the past. Benefiting from the advancements that Quotatis has made in internet-generated leads, once companies get off the ground there will be no stopping them!”
