Solar Panels Cost

In recent years, there has been a greater focus on the need for solar energy in the UK.  People are becoming more conscious of their carbon footprint on the world and the actions that must be taken to avoid the drastic consequences of climate change.

Until recently, solar panels installation was something that only the richest to do but as the technology becomes more affordable and manufacturers make improvements on original designs, costs have brought down making solar panel installation more common in the average household.

Why Solar Panels?

Government incentives have also made solar panels more readily available to the general public.  The Feed-In Tariff gives homeowners the chance to earn money off the electricity generated through their solar panels.

In April 2010 the Feed-In Tariff was launched so homeowners could benefit from direct payments from their energy supplier rather than from the government.  Although the tariff does not contribute towards initial payments, customers can expect to see returns from the electricity generated which eventually leads to the panels paying for themselves.

Customers can expect their money back in around 12 years.  On average, homeowners can earn up to £900 a year for a well positioned solar panel installation.

Those looking to install solar panels in their home may be entitled to financial help from the local council so homeowners are urged to contact them to see if they can offer any of their own grants.

Customers looking for competitive prices on their solar panels can fill in the unique Three Quote form on the site which gives customers the opportunity to receive three cheap prices from MCS accredited installers in their local area.
