In an annoucement this week, the Government appears to have listened to public opinion and set the new Feed In Tariff for electricity (PV) at 41.3p per Kwh. This will guarantee owners of a Photovoltaic system which was commissioned after July 2009 to a sliding scale of annual payments for the next 25 years.

If you are thinking about installing Photovoltaic Solar panels on your property now is the time to do it! Up until April, anyone who installs a PV Solar system will benefit from both the £2,500 government grant and be eligible for the new Feed In Tariff which increases from 10p per Kwh to an expected 36p per Kwh. According to documentation released by the government.

This is the view of the government’s new energy advisor David Mackay, who told BBC news “”There is a worry that in 2016 there might not be enough electricity. My guess is that what the market might do is fix that problem by making more gas power stations, which isn’t the direction we want to be going in,” he said.

“Energy prices are likely to remain at historically high levels, and in fact increase as non-commodity costs rise ever upwards” that is the view of British Gas Managing Director Phil Bentley. This gloomy outlook isn’t unexpected as the facts of diminishing fossil fuels, possible blackouts and increasing demand paints a poor picture of the future without renewable technology.

Solar Fusion is proud to be a member of the ‘We Support Solar’ campaign. It has been set up to petition the government regarding the level that the upcoming Feed In Tariff will be set at. Adding just 10p to the Government’s proposed rates would create substantial employment opportunities in the construction industry as well as making Solar Energy more accessible for the majority of commercial and residential clients.
