Thermal
Solar hot water systems are a sustainable, clean and highly efficient way of using renewable energy from the sun to provide hot water for use in the home.
Utilising radiation from the sun, known as ‘solar radiation’, solar collectors (liquid filled tubes in an insulated box known as the panels) absorb this solar radiation, which is circulated to heat the water used in the home via pipe work connected to a coil in your hot water storage cylinder.
Photovoltaics
PV is a renewable energy system which uses photovoltaic modules on the roof of a building to convert light into electricity. Voltaic cells are made up of thin layers of semi-conducting material (usually crystalline silicon) which generate an electrical charge when exposed to direct light.

Biomass is increasingly the favoured solution for heating large spaces. Most of us are familiar with wood burning stoves which use Biomass. Wood Burners are an attractive and well established heating solution.

Feed in Tariff
NEWS
Solar Photovoltaics, is it still worth investing?
CLICK HERE FOR Information on new feed in tariff rates and eligibility
The Government have announced changes that have huge effects on the PV market.
For installations after December 12th, the tariff rate will be reduced to 21p/kw.
On a 4kw system on south with a 30% pitch, this equates to: 3425 kw/annum.
3425 @ 21 = £720 (Generation Tariff)
1712 @ 3.1 = £53 (Export Tariff)
3425 @ 13p = £445 (Electricity Generated)
Assuming you will use half the electricity generated you are looking at £995 ROI/annum not taking into account RPI and rising electricity prices. We believe PV still offers a payback of about 10 years.
