We are in the process of installing approximately 240kW systems but for non disclosure reasons, we are unable to provide details or pictures at this time.
Solar Photovoltaic (PV) converts sunlight into electricity. The solar PV panels are ideally positioned on a south facing roof but can be positioned on a south east or south west orientation with some reduction in their effectiveness. Panels can be mounted flush with the roof or in the case of a flat roof can be positioned on a purpose built frame. Systems are now available that have integrated solar PV into roof tiles.
Energy suppliers are required to provide an increasing proportion of electricity from renewable sources and if there is a shortfall in that generation they can buy Renewable Obligations Certificates (ROCs) from the open market. For the year to 1st September 2008, these suppliers must present (ROCs) to the value of 7.9% of electricity supplied to customers. There is a buy out clause which allows them to pay £34.30 per MWh for any shortfall.
In England, Wales and Scotland, the obligation for 2007-2008 is 7.9 per cent and for 2008-2009 it rises to 9.1 per cent and rises to 15.4 per cent in 2015-2016 and remains at this level until 2026-2027.
This renewable energy generation is not confined to major energy suppliers, if a system is grid connected to the national grid then the local energy supplier will pay for each unit generated and provided onto the grid in the form of a ROC. A separate meter is required which tracks the units generated which are added to an account in a similar fashion to those units used.
that the greater the generation i.e. the greater the number of PV panels the shorter the payback period.
