About Solar Energy
So then, what is Solar Energy and how can it help you and what difference will it make?
For a start, it's an excellent investment. With the introduction of Feed In Tariff's, converting to Solar Energy has become a cost effective source of renewable energy, indeed, as an investment, it offers a better long term return than the high street banks. At the current rate of energy prices, your system will effectively cover it's costs and be returning a profit to you within a 10 year period. As energy prices continue to rise, and they are, then the cost effectiveness and profit return will reduce to a period of less than ten years. In addition to this you could be making money, earning an average of £700 per year from your system.
A typical Solar PV system consists of three basic elements: An array of photovoltaic modules - in the form of solar panels. An inverter - which effectively converts the energy produced from DC to AC (mains), Ancillaries - meter, cabling, displays units and switches.
A good quality Solar Energy system installed by Kent Solar will knock 1 - 2 tonnes off your carbon footprint, making it a win win situation for you as you become more aware of the energy you use, both in the home or outside. The end product will be indirect savings in your carbon footprint and financially.
With oil reserves across the globe reducing, electricity prices are rising and until now, there has been little, as consumers, that we can do about it. Now, with the introduction of Solar Energy and Solar PV installation, the opportunity to manage our energy useage is available to the consumer. Dependent upon the Solar PV system you have installed and on the percentage of electricity your system generates, you can protect yourself against energy price rises. It sounds easy doesnt it? The reality is, it truly is that simple.
The performance of Solar PV is impossible to predict with any degree of accuracy, this is due to the variability in the annual amount of solar radiation (sunlight or daylight) from area to area. The estimates quoted on here are based upon the official government standard assessment procedure for the enrgy rating of buildings (SAP) and is provided as a general guide only, it is not a guarantee of performance.
Solar PV systems are easily intgerated into a new roof or attached to an existing one (subject to weight and structural support assessment), however, the majority of roofs are more than suitable for immediate fitment.
Due to amendments to planning laws, it is highly unlikely that you will have to seek planning permission to have a solar system installed on your premises. Limitations do exist on properties located in: National Parks or areas of outstanding natural beauty, conservation areas, archaeological sensitive areas, on a site of specific scientific interest, or if it is a listed building. In order to satisfy your awareness and concerns, we recommend you contact the local Conservation officer at your local council to confirm your property is free from restriction. It goes without saying that if you do not own your home then prior to any installation or alterations, you should have written and signed permission ofthe property owner.
