Domestic Solar PV Installations William Dyer Electrical (UK) Limited
Solar PV Installations for the Domestic Market continue to increase throughout 2011 Earlier this year the Department of Energy and Climate Change released figures which demonstrated a dramatic increase in the number of Solar PV installations within the UK domestic market. Since the previous year, the figures show that the number of installations that have taken place have more than tripled which could be as a direct result of the government’s Feed‐In‐Tariff (FIT) scheme (also known as the energy cash‐back scheme). In April last year, the Government introduced Feed‐In‐Tariffs (FITs) under the powers in the Energy Act 2008. Feed‐In‐Tariffs mean that anyone that installs eligible Solar PV systems will receive a guaranteed fixed payment for the electricity generated for a period of 25 years. This payment includes energy that they utilise themselves as well as the energy that is fed back into the National Grid. The Feed‐In‐Tariff was brought in to incentivise homeowners to produce their own electricity via installations such as Solar PV. The Feed‐In‐Tariff currently offers 43.3p for every kilowatt hour of electricity that the solar panels produce and this figure is paid on the total produced not just energy used by the home owner making the benefits to the home owner far greater. Additionally, home owners with Solar PV installations are currently paid 3p per kilowatt for electricity that is sent back to National Grid. This energy can then be used by others – this additional payment is known as an export tariff. If the domestic property is also fitted with a Smart Meter, the homeowner will be able to gain accurate export figures but for those without, the export tariff assumption is based upon 50% of the electricity being sent back to the grid. The data provided from Smart Meters provides a valuable source of energy management information, which can be accessed online. This enables users to analyse energy consumption, spot usage patterns and predict future trends.
Changges to Feed d‐In‐Tarifffs In April 22012, the Feeed‐In‐Tariff (FIT) is due tto change an nd although tthe figures h ave not yet been released d, it has been n suggested tthat the payyment per kilowatt hour w will be lowerr. Although the FIT is sset to be reduced, homeoowners that make the investment in a Solar PV Installation prior to March 2012 will be guar anteed to re eceive the exxisting Feed‐IIn‐Tariff rate e for the next 25 years thus getting the m most out of thheir investme ent.
