Anyone who invests in green energy and solar panels can reap major financial and environmental rewards.

Solar panels were regarded as an experimental technology less than a decade ago. But now, solar power is the fastest growing source of energy worldwide. Solar is now a mass-produced product that is offered at an affordable price thanks to the convergence of technology and finance. In fact, it is predicted that the cost of energy produced by solar panels will be less than a third of the cost of electricity purchased from the grid.

Based on Energy Savings Trust estimates, and average household with a 3.5kW Peak system can save between £345 and £545 a year at the current energy price guarantee rates. Note: These payback rates have increased over the last year so the potential payback figures are increasing and will form part of your design specification/quotes.
