Earn a tax-free income with the Feed-in Tariff<\/h3>\n

Your solar panel installation can earn you money over 20 years. Earn up to \u00a35,300 from the government’s Feed-in Tariff which pays you for every unit of electricity you generate, even if you use it yourself.<\/p>\n

Act quickly though – the current rate of 4.32p\/kWh will decrease from 30th June. Act now to get solar panels installed for this price decrease.<\/p>\n

Save up to 50% on your electricity bill<\/h3>\n

Since you’ll be generating your own electricity and not relying on the grid, you can save a huge 50% on your electricity bill a year. And you can make the savings even bigger by having a solar battery installed with your system so you can store your electricity to use during darkness hours when your panels can’t generate power from the sun.<\/p>\n

Reduce your carbon footprint<\/h3>\n

Installing solar panels reduces your carbon footprint by a whopping 30 tonnes over your system’s lifetime. So not only will you earn and save money with a solar panel installation, you can feel safe in the knowledge that you’re doing your bit for the environment too.<\/p>\n
