Reap The Rewards From Your Feed In Tariff System
There are certain points to consider when you are giving thought to getting solar panels installed. First of all you will need to ensure that your roof is suitably positioned, normally a southerly facing roof is the most beneficial, this will gain you maximum productivity but an east or even west facing roof also provide results, albeit at a moderately decreased production rate. Make sure that your solar panels won’t be obscured by any neighbouring structures, trees and shrubs or bushes as this would likely lessen productiveness and always check that both the solar panel supplier and the fitters are MCS accredited otherwise you might not be able to gain benefit from the Feed In Tariff or FIT.
The Feed In Tariff programme was introduced via the government as an incentive to try and encourage individuals to produce their very own green electric power and for each kWh or kilowatt hour of unused energy that is rerouted in to the grid a payment of 41.3p will be provided. This amount is actually fixed for 25 years for solar panels putting out 5mW or less which will be installed before 31st March 2012. Even solar panel systems fitted earlier than 15th July 2009 still benefit from a FIT rate however theirs is much lower than today’s at 9p for every kWh.
Don’t worry if you still wish to enjoy the benefits of solar panels but yet won’t be ready to get them fitted until after March 2012 because you will, no doubt still be able to reap the rewards of a Feed In Tariff plan at merely a few pence or 7% decreased per kWh generated.
There is also an ingenious way for you to now enhance the benefits of solar panels even further by way of a brilliant piece of equipment known as a solar tracker. A solar tracker is a device that quite literally tracks the sun as it journeys across the sky hence locating the optimal point for your solar panels to acquire the most sunlight. A solar tracker is filled with a specific liquid which in turn, when heated up by the sunlight, causes the tracker to shift in the direction of the sunlight which subsequently induces the panels to change position by way of a system of gears. Although the tracker would add on extra expense to your energy production system it would also increase your eco friendly energy generation by over 40% and potentially boost up excess electrical energy greatly which you can then gain further recompense for.
Solar panel purchase prices vary considerable according to the size you go for and also the provider you choose, some organisations will supply them for between ?7,000 and ?8,000 whereas others could charge ?10,000 plus. It has been determined that the average household will likely have regained their initial expenditure around ten years after installment, nevertheless with a lifespan of approximately thirty to forty years, you will still be experiencing the benefits of solar panels for many years to come.
