Why go Solar?
Click here to read Why choose solar electricity rather than solar hot water?It's a good investment ...
With the introduction of feed-in tariffs, going solar has become a cost effective source of renewable energy, offering a better long-term return than the bank. At current energy prices, your system should pay back within 10 years. If energy prices rise as expected the pay back time will get shorter.
Reduce your carbon footprint ...
A system will knock 1 or 2 tonnes off your carbon footprint. It will also make you more aware of your energy use, both in the home and outside it. As a result you will reap indirect savings both in cash and in carbon.
Protect yourself from rising electricity prices ...
As oil reserves fall, electricity prices are expected to rise. A solar pv system will give you partial protection against rising prices (depending on the percentage of your electricity requirement generated by your system).
In fact if prices rise much further owning solar panels will be like owning a mobile phone ... you just can't afford not to!
Generating your own energy is fun ...
"My Sunny Beam display is even better than the SatNav!"
If you like gadgets you will love the Sunny Beam monitor which shows you how much power your system is generating, with totals and graphs going back for a month or even a year. Real data junkies can even download the data to a laptop!
Going solar is fun and educational ....
