All customers looking to install Solar Electricity will need to ensure their property has an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) to benefit from the Feed-in Tariff rate.

Your property will need to have an energy efficiency rating of ‘D’ or above which may mean additional works could be required for your home such as loft and cavity wall insulation.

Solar Electricity will count towards the EPC rating of your home and we can help determine additional requirements you might need.

From 1 July 2012 onwards
Installing Solar Electricity from the 1 July 2012 will mean that you will still require an EPC rating of ‘D’ and above for your property. The uptake of Solar PV throughout March and April 2012 will depend on what level the Feed-in Tariff subsidy is set at which could potentially be 13.6p – 16.5p, this is yet to be decided by DECC.

The latest proposal by DECC (Consultation on Comprehensive Review Phase 2A: Solar PV Cost Control 09/02/12) details the introduction of a ‘degression mechanism’ which is to be based on an automatic baseline degression of 10% every 6 months.

Solar Electricity is still one of the best ways to reduce your electricity bills and generate an income. A solar electricity system could generate up to 50% of your home’s electricity requirements, and protect you against soaring energy prices for years to come. If energy prices rise by 5% per annum, you could save up to £10,000 on your electricity bills over the next 25 years (assuming you use only half of the electricity your panels generate).

We are qualified to supply EPCs for PV solar panel ratings and also providing quotations for fitting PV panels
