Sometimes it\u2019s difficult to believe the solar market actually has the Government\u2019s backing, especially when there seems to be cuts every few months in the lucrative feed-in tariff.<\/p>\n

And before the year\u2019s out it\u2019s anticipated that the tariff rate for solar panels will be further reduced. In fact, energy watchdog Ofgem predicts that rates will be slashed by a minimum of 3.5% on 31 December. This means if you want to take advantage of what solar has to offer, it\u2019s imperative to act quickly.<\/p>\n

Essentially, by installing solar panels<\/a> on your rooftop now, you\u2019ll stand to earn over \u00a3700 every year over two decades. With the prospect that delaying an investment by just a few months would result in lesser earnings, it\u2019s little wonder homeowners are keen to install quickly.

Solar panels have been very popular in the UK for the last few years, ever since the feed-in tariff was first introduced in 2010. With the Government scheme you\u2019re paid for every unit of renewable electricity generated at your home.<\/p>\n

Of course, on top of these earnings you\u2019ll also be able to save a small fortune on your energy bills annually and even sell excess energy to the National Grid.<\/p>\n

Thousands of homes up and down the country install solar panels every month and this number seems to grow significantly when a feed-in tariff deadline looms. In fact, the week before the July cuts, 32,500 installations were recorded. Just a week later that figure plummeted 90%.<\/p>\n

With another surge expected over the coming weeks and months, it\u2019s important to get your solar journey underway. Get off on the right foot by comparing quotes from reputable solar companies in your area and discover how your home would benefit from solar panels.<\/p>\n

Remember, with solar panels:<\/p>\n
