Solar Utilities

We specialise in renewable energy and alternative technology systems for home and industrial applications. Our two main areas of focus are Solar Electricity (Photovoltaic) generation and Solar Hot Water (Solar Thermal) generation for both home and business.

A typical domestic solar thermal system consists of 2 flat plate collectors similar to the one in the above image. Producing approx. 2078 kW of heat per annum. The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) is a Government-backed incentive to make it worth your while to produce renewable heat. Very similar to the 'Feed-In-Tariff' for PV, you earn a fixed income for every kilowatt hour of heat you produce. This is likely to be used in your own property, but if you are lucky enough to be connected to a heat network you could get an additional payment for 'exporting' surplus heat.

This is a government scheme that guarantees a fixed payment for all the electricity your system generates, including what is used, for a period of 25 years. Combine this with the additional lower payment for any surplus electricity fed back to the grid, the reduction in your standard electricity bill and suddenly solar PV offers a great return on investment. The current feed in tariff for installations on already occupied (or previously occupied) homes is 16p/kWh for up to 4kW installed. PV is sized per Kilowatt Peak.
